Our hearts hurt from the loss of our friend that we considered family, but our souls are rejoicing that she is now walking the streets of gold with our Lord and Saviour. She was always giving the Lord Jesus the credit for the blessings that came her way, especially the family she was blessed with.
I fully expect that we will meet again in Heaven with her busting around making sure we were welcomed.
Arlene and I can only express our feelings of love for Lowell, Teresa, Terena and Ron, that are left with an enormous hole in their hearts from Flora leaving this earthly world to gather her rewards in Heaven…

Lowel, I am so sorry, we have been praying for both of you ever since we heard if Flora’s illness. I know how you feel and the hole that is left in your heart. I also know that the Lord is going to give you strength to walk through this valley. When I lost Joe I thought there was no way I could go on but God makes a way when we think there is no way, He will comfort you through the long nights and strength for the day.
I tried to call you on the number that we found on google but got no ans. so did not know if it was still a good number or not.
Take care and stay in touch. Love and prayers for you and your family

I am so sad for the family but I rejoice in knowing she is with her Savior and she is perfect! Flora was a great influence in my Christian walk as a young woman. She showed grace, joy and love in her daily walk with God. I learned so much from her and I’m so thankful that she was in my life. I’m a better person today because of having her in my life.
