    Flo, we will miss your quick wit, your sense of humor, your faithfulness to your family, your hardheaded-ness, your strong will and the love you had for many. You didn’t know a stranger! I’m so thankful to have met you, to love ya. Rest easy and don’t cause too much ruckus in heaven. Give Scott a big ol kiss for me. ♥️

    Dale and I will miss you Flo. We will miss your crazy, but true stories of your life. You had a Heart of Gold and a Fist of Iron, if needed. You spoke your mind and the strength you had was out of this world. We will keep your memories and stories going. You have a place in heaven with a smile on her face. You were/are one of kind. I know you are in a better place. You will be missed by so many. Love, Dale and Helen Black

    Flo, you will be missed by so many. You have been connected to so many in Caseyville for so many years. George has known you all of his 79 years and always tells some funny stories about you and his brother Bert. I still have my wooden Hummingbird that you gave me so many years in my curio cabinet. Now you and Bert can look down on all of us and reminisce your growing up together. We will meet again some day.

    I am sorry I never knew you passed! Your family meant a lot to me when I was growing up in Caseyville. We had so many good times! I remember going to St Louis getting bags of White Castle. May you Rest In Peace my friend.
