A lovely Lady, with the word “grace” always coming to mind when I think of her. She was a treasured cousin, in addition to becoming a good friend over the last 20 plus years.
Flo was very kind to us when we moved into Stonewall Manor, across the street from her and Paul. They were such good neighbors. We are sorry that we will miss her Celebration of Life due to travel.
Dear Margie: Our deep condolences to you and your family. Losing parents at any age is very difficult. They were both wonderful neighbors to us during the many years we lived in Stonewall Manor. Your mother was the epitome of the true Southern Lady, so gentle and gracious. Your father always had a twinkle in his eye, a warm smile and a helping hand for everyone. We will miss them. Sincerely. `Marguerite and Ed Weiss
Rest in peace my beautiful friend. Your life was a great example to us all. We miss you, loved our many years of friendship, and as you dance with Paul in Heaven, your light will continue to shine. Margie and family, you were blessed to have a wonderful Mom, In-law and Grandmother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
