We moved to Harrison in in 1994. The 2 1/2 years we lived there was very enjoyable. Being new to a town is difficult, until you meet people like Flora. She is the kind of person God uses to bring warmth and love to those who need it. Her glowing disposition and love for God still lives on for those who met her as example of how we can be used by Him. She will be missed.

Dear Friends:
Flora was one of the sweetest, gentlest, and most Christian ladies I have ever known. Her spiritual strength enabled me over and over when I was pastor of the Harrison church. When my mother passed, Flora was there. I always counted her as a friend, but more importantly, as a sister in Christ. Our condolescences to the family as your mourn her home-going. There is no doubt in my mind that she is celebrating in the presence of Jesus.
Our love and prayers,
Jim, Sue, and Larkin Lynch
