Flo was one of the people who you meet and make an instant connection. She was smart, witty, opinionated and kind all rolled into a beautiful persona. You couldn’t help but love her. I and my family did, without any hesitation. She was an inspiration and a model of what the world should be -themselves. She loved her family and her friends and was always one to offer a helping hand. She was a fabulous cook, which was passed on to her family. She worked hard all her life and always found the good in every situation. I will miss her greatly. I was honoured to have her as a friend and a ‘second’ Mom. Rick and I and ‘the girls’ will mourn her passing but remember her with a big smile and love. No blubbering. Her family will know what that means. Love you Flo. Look out for all of us.xoxo
