Flo and I went all through school together. I was always so sad to hear she had left us so soon. I found out that she married a doctor (she may have been a nurse) and she had three little girls. Her husband died ten years after she did. Her youngest child died two weeks before her husband. So very sad, but at least we now know some of her story.

Flo, you had the  most beautiful red hair! And you wore it long and many times in a pony tail. Your mom was our girl scout leader and you both made the meetings fun for us. You loved Cherry Ames novels and wanted so much to become a nurse. I don't think you were able to realize that dream...but now I think you are ministering to those in heaven.
