Flo was by far my favourite regular at Boston Pizza and when I left to school she made me the most beautiful quilt that I still use to this day. Condolences to the family
Maren and Holly, my deepest condolences on the passing of your mom. I met her in the early 90s in a book club. I was new to MJ, and she was always so very friendly and welcoming. I believe I went berry-picking with your mom and one or both of you many years ago! I wish you and your families peace and strength.
It is very sad that Mrs. Florence Blair has died. My wife & I like to express our sincere sympathy to the family and your friends, also we would like to share some comfort with you all that is mention in the Bible at 1Corinthians 15: 22-26.
SENDING CONDOLENCES TO FLOS FAMILY,
I ENJOYED FRAMING MANY OF HER BEAUTIFUL NEEDLE WORK PIECES .
SHE WAS SUCH A TALENTED PERSON AND HER WORK WILL LIVE ON AND BE ENJOYED BY MANY.
My prayers and thoughts are with all the family at this sad time . Flo gave me my first quilting lesson and then a couple others and she was so patient and kind. Such a wonderful soul! I am sure all your happy memories will keep her alive in your hearts!
Thoughts and prayers with all of you. Due to an appointment in Regina will not be able to attend the memorial for Flo but will be thinking of all of you. Remember the good times and Flo will always be with you.
Condolences to all Flo’s family. She was an amazing lady and a great quilter. Remember the good times.
