Jeep; Weezie & Family; So sorry for your loss. In the "Parrish/ Ford" tradition, Mrs. Flenniken continued to exhibit her care and compassion for Georgetown and in particular the hospital system. It has been said that" in time, the sadness will subside, but the memories will last forever" . Jo and I will keep you and your families in our thoughts and prayers. Best regards,

I have a fond memory of a telephone conversation had with Alyce several years ago, and just how protective she felt towards her son.
You're in our thoughts and prayers, Bruce.
Love, Monica and Brian
