I had just buried my mom 4 months ago and after 35 years of marriage I came home to find my husband had died. We never had children so, I was so alone and devastated. My family did not live in Columbus and I did not know how to go on. All I could do was concentrate on breathing. Two months after his funeral I get a call, a voice from a stranger that was so full of compassion and love. She would call every night to listen...mostly to me crying and pray for me. This continued for two weeks until I went back to work and to somehow face life without my mom and husband. For years, we were the perfect trio. Flo said there is a purpose in all this and to trust God to reveal it in His perfect time. That He has not and will not leave me and His love for me is there, even though I can't feel it. Months later, she invited me to a church meeting on how to make it through the holidays while dealing with grief. While I cried through much of the meeting, I finally got to meet Flo for the first time. Her eyes were so kind and voice familiar to me by now. At that meeting I also met Beth, who was also a recent widow and we became fast friends. I introduced them to my friend and main support Belinda and we are all now Sisters. Flo continued to invite us to caregiver support activities at her church and we continued to show up for each other at various events. Flo has a true heart for people who are struggling and gives so much of herself without boasting to help you. Everyone who meets her falls in love with her. Along with her love is a strong work ethic and educational pursuit that has broadened the number of people that she will reach! Thank you Jesus, for directing her to me and to feel God's love through her. -- Jolene M.
