| We are thinking of you all, and praying for Flo and the family. She lived a long, happy life with a wonderful husband and family. I'm sure she can look down on all of you now with happiness and pride. |

| Flo's love will continue to shower down on her family and friends. She hasn't left you, but transitioned to another part of your heart. Listen, you will still hear her. My prayers go out to Joe & children. |

| We're so sorry we heard too late of Flo's passing to attend the funeral. She was such a gracious neighbor to us for many years and we miss bantering with Joe. Jack's uncle, Billy Hunt, knew them well. Our very best to the family in this sad time. |

| My Condolences to Keris Family. Being a past member of Baptist church Flo was a friend of my Mother Barbara Newton. I remember Flo as a very sweet person always friendly when you wanted to talk to her. I know all of you will miss her.... |

My deepest condolences to each of you, we too lost our Mother in July. It is somewhat ironic that this page should serve to re-unite us after all these years. I am living in Chesapeake, VA and so once again, we are neighbors.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. |
