Flo was a good friend for so many years. My family first knew Flo back in Winnipeg when we arrived there in 1948. We were thrilled when Flo & Andy moved out to Langley, B.C., as we were now living in Maple Ridge. My mom, (Gertrude Hainsworth - nee Bates) who passed away just a year ago, was close to Flo & Andy, and we made many trips to Langley. We were saddened when they moved to Edmonton..... but the phone calls never stopped. I was sad to hear of Flo's passing & will miss her.
