Flossie Was An Incredible Inspiration To Me During My Time In The Class. She Possessed Such A Calm Manner, So Comfortable ” In Her Own Skin”. Flossie Was So Loyal In Her Attendance, And Continued To Be With The Class As Long As Her Health Permitted. There Was A Special Quality About Flossie That Inspired The Admiration And Confidence In Her. I Can Only Imagine That She Was An Amazing Nurse. As Time Has Passed And I Have Seen Less And Less Of Flossie, She Has Remained In My Thoughts And Prayers. She Left A Mark On My Heart, And I We’Ll Continue To Miss Her. Her Passing Leaves An Enormous Void In The Lives Of Many Friends.
