Flo Becker was the mother of my good friend Bonnie. I had known her since Bonnie and I were in 8th grade. Every teenager who came through her doorway left calling her "Mom". She was a warm, loving person who doted on her children and grandbabies. She will be remembered fondly by all who ever met her!
