I was saddened to hear Flossie passed away and I always enjoyed stepping in to visit with her when I'd come to visit my mother in law Ruth Alexander.
What a wonderful lady.
Saddened
As I close my eyes and ponder this day
I'm saddened yet relieved
Your pains gone away
Stay in my dreams
So I'll never be alone
But my heart feels heavy
As if it were stone

It was a real sense of loss when I heard the news about Flossie. For as long as I can remember she was my mother's best friend. Every time I came to Chanute I would go and visit her. I would call and say Flossie I'm coming over and she would meet me at the door with a can of cashews in her hand. The can was always full and by the time I left it was empty. I also ate all her fudge supply and lost count of the many ice cream bars I consumed. She loved to talk about Branson and would describe everything with such detail that I felt like I was there. She was so proud of her family. I believe that she was one of those people who saw the good in everybody and everything. Her glass was always full. When I would get ready to leave she would tell me to have a safe trip back to Baltimore and that she would pray for me. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart. I'm consider myself so lucky to have had Flossie as my friend.
I met this "Flossie Taylor" only one time and that was when she was at her church, and I was a visitor that day. Janie Morgan introduced me to several people in the congregation and one of them was this lady. I talked to her and told her who I was and from that point on, I felt that I was her friend because my niece, Melinda, is married to her grandson, Brian Taylor. She knew my oldest brother Richard, and spoke very highly of everyone that we both knew. For those that were close to her, by being related or through church, or from years ago as neighbors, it seems to me that everyone shares the same stories about this wonderful lady. We all agree that we will see her again someday because she left here knowing where she was going. God bless the family through this sorrowful time that we all must go through.
Flossie will be greatly missed. Always felt good traveling with Gary and Linda knowing that Flossie was praying for them!! God bless you Flossie and the Taylor family.
