I knew Flossie and Buford Whiteside from childhood. She and my mother, Nora Mae Hammett, were good friends and Flossie did some babysitting with my brother, Mike, who was born with cerebral palsy. I and my whole family loved Flossie and we were there for her when Buford passed. I used to play with Bertha when Flossie would visit with us. Please accept my sincerest condolences at her passing and know that I truly loved her. May God grant peace to the family.
