I remember fondly the stories my mother, Edith Dreise, would tell about the fun and enjoyment she had working with Flo. She was a "work friend" but also a true friend. God Bless. Prayers for you.

Ms. Flo was an AMAZING, WONDERFUL, and LOVING woman of God. Who showed us His love everyday in the way she loved everyone and was loved by everyone. I will always remember our Thursday nights gathering together- our laughs, hugs, tears, smiles, even the brownies. Mariano says "She was the best" and Jenna "I will really miss you". She loved my family as your own and for that I have been blessed and am truly thankful for her friendship.

Grandma you were an amazing women that did a tremendous amount of loving, caring and praying for us all. You have touched so many lives and you will be missed by so many. As I sit here with tears on my cheeks I remember homade chocolate chip cookies and a glass of milk every Sunday Danielle and I would stay with you and Uncle Bob. We watched the Disney movie every Sunday evening. I can still remember exactly what that apartment looked like. I also remember you taking Danielle and I to see the musical Peter and The Wolf. O Grandma what amazing memories and I have so many I would never be able to list them all. I know now you are in Heaven and you have the most beautiful angel wings, better than any material angels that you collected for as long as I can remember. Grandma I love you so very much and I will continue my journey with you watching over me. I will listen in my dreams for your beautiful voice to sing my worries away and I will be mindful of my daily life knowing you are watching over me and all the ones you love so dearly. I love you Grandma, Rest In Peace ?

Flo's bright smile and joy in life was such a blessing to me. She greeted us by singing "Good morning!" and when I would ask her "how Flo can ya go?" she would sing back to me "all the way to Cocomo!". I will miss her.
