    Frank & I were blessed to have been a part of New Covenant Assembly of God in Lafayette. That’s where we enjoyed Flo’s amazing musical talent & where we were taught God’s Word from Howard, Flo’s brother. Great music & teaching! I will never forget Flo singing in Susie’s hospital room. It was very quite in the room & Flo sang out a beautiful song. Sounded like an angel singing. Peace filled the room & my heart. Thank you Flo for using your gift of music to comfort others, for your compassion, & for the love you showed to others. I’m sure you heard Jesus’ words, “Well done my good & faithful servant.” You are now singing praises in Heaven! May our Lord comfort all the grieving hearts of family & friends & give you His peace.
