Hi Gary, Very sorry to hear of the passing of your Mom...may she rest in peace and may your memories always be held close in your heart. Condolences to you and your family.
Sending my sincere condolences on the passing of your Mom. She was a lovely, friendly lady. Growing up my backyard butted onto Elizabeth St. My family were the Bantings on Shirley St. between the Wellmans & the Manleys. I have fond memories of that great neighbourhood. Your Mom always remembered me when we would meet downtown or at the church. Thoughts & prayers are with you all. Carol

Flo was such an active member of St Peter's. I enjoyed our chats during the frequent Friday's coffee hour, Friends at 10. Flo always had time to talk to us, a modest but great worker for God's people at St Peter's. She called us just a few weeks ago to thank us for her card that we left for her at the local hospital. We will miss her!
A good patient and a good friend for over 25 years. We all will miss Flo! She was a great lady and I never remember seeing her without her smile. Our condolences.
We are so sorry to hear of Flo's passing. She was an inspiration to those of us at St. Peter's with her constant ability to volunteer at the church. Her infectious smile will be greatly missed. May she rest internally in the wonderful memories that she has created. Our prayers are with you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Gary, so sorry for your loss. Auntie Flo will be missed, but not forgotten. Rest in peace Auntie Flo . Roger,Barbara Jean Fournier (Wass) & families

Rest In Peace dear Flo. I will miss your cheery ways and wonderful smile. Thinking of your family at this time.
I am so sorry to hear about Flo. My mom (Jessie Schmidt), Flo and Mabel were good friends. Flo was such a a kind person- I got to visit her this summer on my own (my mom passed away last year)- it was great to see her. The one thing I will always remember about her was that when my mom was living with dementia and her circle of friends was getting smaller - Flo would always call my mom on Friday nights and chat and remind her about the Gaither Gospel Hour television show. Rest In Peace Flo❤️ My heartfelt condolences to Flo's family and friends.
Sorry for your loss. Thinking of you at this time. sincerest condolences.
Rest In Peace sweet lady. I have so many fond memories of being with you
