I have many fond memories of Flo from the Arthritis Aquatics classes at the Third Street Alliance and our out to lunch bunch lunches and parties. Things were never dull when Flo was around. with her beautiful white hair ,bright smile and distinctive voice ,she always stood out in the crowd. When she moved to California it left a gap in our lives. Now that she has moved on again, I can only say, Rest In Peace ,my friend. You were a bright spot in my life and you will not be forgotten
