I FIRST HAD THE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH FLO BACK IN 1976 WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE VALLEY. SHE WAS VERY GOOD AND VERY EFFICIENT AT WHAT SHE WAS DOING AS OFFICE MANAGER FOR PHYSICIAN MEDICAL CENTER. LATER I GOT TO KNOW HER AS A KIND PERSON WHO LOVED HER FAMILY VERY MUCH. I TREASURE THE FRIENDSHIP WE HAD FOR THE LAST 35 YEARS.
TO MARCI AND JAN, I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AT THIS TIME OF SORROW
