May the road rise to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, the rains fall soft upon your fields and, until we meet again. May God Hold You In The Palm of His Hand. Your niece, Maureen

Flow was such a special person, loving & caring. She was our ringleader! All of us in building 60 will miss her terribly. She was always ready with a joke or some kind of wise crack to get us going. She not only cared about her own family (I feel like I know all of you personally), but she cared about our families too.
Please accept my sincere condolences, I wish I could be there for her service.
