My heart and prayers go out to Flo's entire family. She was an amazing person and I still can't believe she is gone. I have so many great memories of Flo and her family. She always made me laugh. She was my mom's best friend and part of our family. Flo, i love you and i will see you in heaven some day.

Bill and family: When I saw this notice, I felt like I had to say something about how I feel but after thinking about it, there are no words to express my feelings for Flo. She was more than a friend to me - a sister. My heart hurts for you and for me. Her leaving us has created a big void in all of our lives. She was a wonderful person and we had a lot of good times, sad times and just normal times together. I know she's in a better place but it doesn't make up for the sadness and loss we all feel now and forever. May God be with all of you.

To:Bill and the Reece Family

Please accept our most sincere condolences in the passing of Flo. We were your neighbors for over 10 years on Governor's Walk in "Indigo Fields Subdivision." We will always remember Flo's pleasant smile as she would stop to say pleasant words as she walked through the neighborhood. I pray that she is cradled in the arms of Jesus. May she rest in peace.
