  5. I have many memories with Miss Flo! My Mama (Melba Alexander) and her were good friends and worked together at Sand Hill. Although it has been years since I have seen her, I have thought of her often. I am so very sorry to the family for the loss y’all are experiencing! 💔 My Mama went home to be with the Lord a little over one month ago. I have no doubt that she was waiting there to greet Flo and they are talking and laughing! Thinking of y’all and praying for comfort that only our precious Heavenly Father can give.

  13. Davis Family….please accept my deepest sympathy in the loss of Ms. Mary. I’ll never forget the green thumb, taking my kiddos by her house at Christmas, and most of all….that time her phone rand while we were sitting in the choir loft and she answered it saying, “I can’t talk right now!” Loved her♥️

  14. Everyone that knew Flo loved her. She was always happy & smiling. She really knew how to celebrate Christmas. Going to Flo’s at Christmas was almost like going to Santa Land but Flo had a LOT more decorations than they did…REALLY! My thoughts & prayers are for her family & friends.
    She will be greatly missed.
