Pat, Art, Lora Lee and Andy
I am so grateful for having known your husband and dad. My mind is flooded just now with memories of your family. I often think of all of you. There's not space or time to reflect all the wonderful memories and lessons we learned together. I do know that I pursued and obtained a degree in Home Economics Education because of the encouragement of Arthur Flowers. I am so thankful that he spoke positive, directive and encouraging words to me at a time when I was not sure what direction to take in life. I often stop and think of the beginning of my career and how I was influenced by comments made to me from the Flowers' family. I am forever grateful for all of you and what I have learned from each of you. We will all miss the Arthur we knew. Know my deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I pray your memories will bring comfort to you now.
Love and prayers,
Joyce
