Flo Davis

We met last summer when Flo came to visit her daughter, my sister in law, Brenda. Flo was my constant companion that summer. We had long talks on the porch, lunches out and a few naps together during Dr. Phil. Flo is from Georgia and just the typical Georgian peach you would expect. Her soft, gracious voice seemed to remind you of times of Plantations, rides in a carriage and large billious skirts. She was always a lady but could defend herself if necessary. She has a fiesty side that made us all stop and take note when she was truly riled. There was always a "please" and "thank you" quick on her tongue.
Wednesday evening after her usual trip to church and eating out at Jason's, she said she wasn't feeling well. Her granddaughter, DeAnna could tell there was something going on in Flo so they started to the ER. She passed out in the driveway. The doctors say she had a stroke and heart attack. By Thurs morning, the doctors didn't give her much hope.
Flo is 86 and will be 87 in a couple of weeks. I've never met such a sharp active, strong "young" lady. She could work circles around me and would if I stood still long enough.
This morning the family is waiting to hear more from doctors but I feel like Flo will probably wake up and tell them all to go home!
She won't like that her hair is messed up and she'll want to get her nails done. She's quite a lady and although we love her, we would understand if she wants to go home to be with her husband, Jay. She has missed him so much .
We love you Flo
