The first time I met and got to know her, Manang Floring was in 1982 when we went to visit Hawaii for the first time. She, Manong Ricarte and Ben were at the airport waiting for us. They took us everywhere on the island, and Manang Flo had told me how happy she was being married to my brother in-law, and how much she loved his son, Ben, my nephew.
I told her she was doing a great and wonderful job and it showed in what Ben had become.
I visited them again this last December and she looked wonderful. She looked healthy just a little bit of hearing loss, but she had not changed her love for her family
Ben loved her. She was his mother that raised him and spent time with him growing up.
You are in our hearts, despite of sadness we feel as you depart from us.
May you rest in peace.
