Sending love and peace. Aunt Flo was truly one of a kind. She had a heart of gold and a generous spirit. She and my Dad were thick as thieves. I am sure their reunion in heaven was glorious.

So sad about our Flo but what great memories we have of her. Flo was the life of the party when she came to her cabin at Shady Oak Trail Getaway. Al was our POA president and Flo our secretary for 8 years and they help make the little resort what it is today. We will miss her so much but cherish the memories and friendship in our hearts forever.

We are devastated at Ms. Flo’s passing. She & Al are like grandparents to our 2 youngest, Paige (Dollface) and Phillip Edward (Spike). She was bigger then life in a petite frame, and loved the people in her life with great passion. All of our love to Al, John and Paul.

Jim and I are so saddened with the passing of Ms. Flo. We always enjoyed our visits at the cabins with both Al & Flo. She was always so spunky with a quick witted sense of humor. Continued prayers of strength.
Hugs and Love,
