My condolences to the family of whom I came to know as “Flo.” May you all celebrate her life above mourning her passing. May the lessons of life she taught maintain their value in your life. We humbly pray that God will find her acceptable on the Day of Judgment…and allow her soul to enjoy and rest in peace …in Paradise! Amen!
Flo..you were such a sweet person to me and my mom. I loved your relationship with both of us …you would always call and check up on me and mom. You will be missed. Rest in peace my friend.
My mother was a amazing woman! Hard working, motivated to give her girls a good life….my mom was definitely a mama bear and woe to anyone who tried to harm any of her children or grandchildren and for a fact anyone whom she cared for. She and I had a complicated relationship and were often times at odds but I loved my mother dearly and I miss her so much…I do not know how I am going to live without seeing her , without hearing her voice, without the scriptures she had taken to sending me everyday before her stroke….I love you mom, continue to watch over us and please try not to put those sticky notes all over heaven.❤️
Mom this is so surreal, crazy thing is for two years I have missed you. The dementia made it very hard to communicate with you, now this. My heart is heavy but I know you are at peace in a better place free from confusion and pain. I pray you are proud of me and my accomplishments the ones didn’t yet get to see. I love you and I will miss our conversations our laughs our dinners and movie dates. Please try not to boss the other angels around or tell God how to run the heavens as you did me in my own house lol. I am sad temporarily because I know you live on and will watch over the family and I. I am sad I can’t see you in the physical but I trust you find comfort in Jesus’s arms. I love you forever and always until we meet again.
Your youngest daughter and oldest grandchild
Zaviea “The Favorite”
What I remember most about my mother was how beautiful, loving, caring, hospitable and giving she was. Even though I reside in another state, mother and I would talk on the phone and pray for ones in the family who may be going through something during periods of time in their lives. She always kept me informed about the family and she liked to talk about what was happening in the news. She loved talking about her grandkids and great-grands. She was a very giving person and would do anything for her family if she could. She talked about her work experiences over the years and how the Lord helped her out of many circumstances. She was funny and I loved her laugh and her voice. She always took care of herself and was very independent. I will certainly miss her and I will always admire her. She was very inspiring to me. Thank you God for blessing me with a wonderful mother whom I will always love and never forget. 🙏🏽 I love you momma and can’t wait to see you again in heaven!!
Love forever,
Your daughter Rhonda
She was an amazing mother in law always was there if you needed her. She had a heart of gold.
She will surely be missed..my prayers are with the family
Q: What 3 words best describe Florence and why?
A: Three words to describe my Gma Flo is she was passionate, loving and hilarious! Anytime you spoke with her she filled the room with laughter! There was never a dull moment whenever I saw or spoke with her. She was very passionate about everything that she does and especially family. No matter what anyone was going through, she would always bring the family back together. She was the most loving person and would give her last to help anyone. She is truly inspiring
You were such a beautiful soul Grandma Flo. Known you for almost as long as I have been in GA. You treated me and my family as your own. Regardless of how mad you were at me or the crew I knew it was all love. I am grateful to have been able to see you recently. So may memories from you locking me in your house for punishment to your cooking, your hugs, your laughter and you fussing. I can almost hear your voice right now. Rest peaceffuly.. You did good down here….
I will always remember my grandma. She was a very kind and strong person. She always wanted what was best for you and always tried to help you with whatever you needed. She didn’t take no mess from anyone and always had a way of convincing you. I will never forget growing up in her beautiful house and sharing moments with her especially when it came to WWE wrestling and her favorite wrestlers which she was very passionate about. Now she is in Heaven with our Heaven Father and may she Rest Eternally with him. I love you Grandma. Your Grandson Ike
Words can not express how much Grandma meant to me. She accepted me as one of her grandchildren and made me feel loved. We laughed, cried and prayed together. She never held her tongue if she saw fit to speak her mind. She gave tough and real love. She always encouraged me to be the best and wanted nothing but the best for those she considered family. I will miss you dearly.
