B-I-N-G-O !!!
Bingo !!!!!
Bingo was one of Florence Healey's most favorite exclamations. Truly music to her ears. Florence Healey loved her family, her home and her nightly Bingo games. Bingo was Florence's game of choice. With her cards in front of her and her marker at the ready Florence was ready and willing to embark on one of her legendary bingo marathons. If bingo were an Olympic sport, Florence Healey would be on the U.S. Bingo team.
