Joel and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Flossie is in the sweet arms of Jesus right now, no more pain or sickness. With the Lords help, we can join her someday and rejoice with her. Joel, I really don't know any words of comfort. You need to grieve and ask Jesus for his help. I have all of you in my prayers. I love all of you and was very happy to see you in October. Love and Prayers, Hazel
