Dear Lee, Randy and Laurie, my thoughts are with you all today. Flo fought a hard battle and gave it her all but did not win the battle. I will not be attending her memorial service because of not being up to driving that far with my bad back. I will be thinking about the whole family during this time. Love, Wanza Cox
Dear Wanza,
Thank you for your kind words of sympathy. We love & appreciate you and know that Mom loved you very much as well. We are so sorry that your back has been troubling you. I will pray for relief for that. You are in our thoughts as well.
Love,
Lee, Randy & Laurie

Dear Lee, Randy & Laurie – The Lee family extends its condolences to all of you. While it has been many years since we saw Flo, she was always a very gracious lady and wonderful mother. May she now rest in the peace of the Lord and in knowing this; give all of you comfort.

Our friend, Flo, was a mighty warrior who fought the bravest battle now, but even more, before this, she made a difference in many lives from the children she taught to the family she raised to the friends and other family members she loved. Sorrow is an insufficient word for this loss.
Dear Bub and Cathy
Thank you for your kind words. Flo was indeed a sweet and brave lady. She loved all the Creels as family.
Love, Lee, Randy & Laurie
To the Sims Family,
I had the pleasure of teaching you Randy at Terrace Elementary and also working with Flo at Forest ridge Elementary. Flo was one of the kindest people I have ever known and I have many fond memories of her as a parent and teacher. She will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy to all of you.
