We had the pleasure to met Flo & Jimmy a few years ago through our church’s ministry of bringing the Eucharist to the homebound. We last saw Flo on April 13th and prayed over her as she rested.
Our condolences to the family.

Hello.. my name is Chas and although I don’t know you personally I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. I too have experienced the loss of loved ones and it is very difficult. Something that has always helped and encouraged me is a scripture from the Bible. At acts 24:15 it speaks of a time where there will be a resurrection of those we have lost. What a beautiful thought to look forward to.. seeing those loved ones again. I hope this brings you comfort in the difficult time. Thoughts and prayers for you and your families.

Flo was almost like a mother to my late husband Donnie,her youngest brother by 20 years. They took him on vacation and gave him guidance.Even after her cancer diagnosis she stayed upbeat and gave advice to anyone that would listen.She will be missed,our condolences to Doug and her granddaughters.🙏
