Dear Susie, You have my deepest sympathies on the passing of your mother, Flo. I have many fond memories of her and our time working together at Centre Foundry. I am unable to come to Weirton on Sunday, but please know that I have you in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Clara
Dearest Family, We cared very much for Flo, as she always worried about us and how we were getting along. We were very fortunate to have known her the few years we did. I was also especially blessed to have been able to speak with her one last time when I returned her telephone call Tuesday evening and told her we love her very much. She was a wonderful lady and will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her the same. Theresa and Flo adopted each other as mother and daughter. She was planning to spend “Thanksgiving” at our home with us.
Our love and deepest sympathy.
Dear Aunt Flo, I wanted to tell you “I love you & I will miss you very much” My thoughts & prayers are with you & the family. You will surely never be forgoten by all who knew & loved you. The Lord will take care of you now! Love, Shell
