    Flo was one of my mother's (Janet McKinnon) best friends from as far back as I can remember. I have many great memories of her during my childhood years. She was especially supportive when my dad passed and when mom got sick and passed a few years later. To Bill and all the McCarron family, you have my deepest condolences. I hope Flo is playing Pokeno with my parents now.

    The McCarron Family We little knew that day, God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death, we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you. You did not go alone. For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide. And although we cannot see you, You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same, But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again. Author: Ron Tranmer

    My condolences to the McCarron family. I will always remember Flo as the devoted friend to my mother Janet McKinnon who passed away 45 years ago. Flo was always there to help us during her illness and has always remained in our thoughts and prayers. Patti Young, Gail Kuhns
