in honor of Flora.

~ Flora was way MORE than a regular 'person' She was KIND& GENEROUS& she was that REALLY WARM& you could FEEL IT for friggin a WEEK (((HUGS))) Real love. Real caring. The word 'thoughtful' doesn't even COVER IT. &You'd all the sudden think of something she'd DONE& you'd want ta FIND A WAY to BLESS FOLKS, somehow, in YOUR OWN WAY. She was like the QUENESSENTIAL *** VIBE *** to follow, kindness-wise. She had her own 'SPECIAL STAMP' too. It wasn't just WHAT she did, but HOW she DID IT. She was ALWAYS SOOOO FRIGGIN THOUGHTFUL on how she carried out her plans. It was NEVER 'about Flora' It was ALWAYS about SERVITUDE. &Always about how what she did& was a part of AFFECTED THE FOLKS SHE SERVED. I loved this woman. I wanna be a bit like her. To love& embrace people& causes& to simply LOVe, like she did. What a BEAUTIFUL LIGHT she was..... Damned if she can ever be replaced..... But please GIVE, when ya can. LOVE. When ya can. Embrace the poor& homeless. When ya can. &When ya feel ya can't, then PRAY. Pray for all of the folks that have less than you. The down-trodden, the poor, the poor in Spirit, folks who are sick, folks who just need a 'listening ear'

Cus that
was Flora.

The ULTIMATE
of SERVITUDE.

There is no one else like you, kid!! But we will ALLLLL try to 'dod what you do' every day, in our daily lives. Thank you for teaching us& LEADing us to become better SERVANTS.

I love you&
I miss you,
my friend......

One of those who you 'served'
~ Beth❤️🙏

Flora was often involved in setting up various training courses at Lockheed martin. She was not only good at her job but her warm smile and welcoming presence made those experiences much more pleasurable than they would otherwise have been

Flora was such a vital force - even in high school! She challenged many of us in our Christian walks, just by being strong in her own faith and always seeking to learn more. She was a wonderful friend to me in those days, and I will miss her presence on this earth, though she is now well and rejoicing in heaven.

Flora is a song I will hear for as long as I live. It is a bright, vibrant melody that carries you to the places that Flora saw; hopeful, honest, and all about riding that Peace Train. Amen.
I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I had to spend time together with Flora, after not having seen each other for a long time, at the USC reunion in Pittsburgh October 22. It was just like no time had passed and we had just continued a conversation from years ago. I was blessed to have such a wonderful time with her then and I treasure the moments deeply.
I want to send my deepest condolences to her brothers John and San, and her mother Angela, who welcomed me into their home and church, for several holiday celebrations.
Flora and I found it curious that both of our eventual careers ended up in the nonprofit sector building capacity for under-served communities. I think our goals and talents guided us in similar directions and in this way, we had kindred souls. I feel honored to be a close friend of Flora.

Flora was a dear friend and, in more ways than one, a silent guide to me and my friends at our PhD program. We had travelled together to Maryland to present our work from the community service class showcasing her permanent supportive housing project in Fort Worth. It was then, I realized, having seen her passion for ensuring dignity of living for the chronically homeless, her determination was rooted in empathy for mankind.

While we had lost touch, her memory will always be etched in my dissertation and in my mind. I am proud and fortunate to call myself her friend and PhD batch mate. Sending lots of prayers her way and condolences to her dear family members and friends. May she rest in peace!!

I was one of the initial artists to rent studio space from Flora and she was always gracious, kind and generous. Together we desinged and initiated the individual studio spaces for artists to lease. I worked there for several years, then added students and the Texas Academy of Figurative Art was founded in the Lancaster Lofts thanks to Flora. Honestly, I don’t know if I would be where I am if not the opportunity Flora provided for me. She was a remarkable woman and I will miss her. May she Rest In Peace.

I remember Flora from the church (former Overton Park UMC) we attended together. She was the kindest person and my daughter and I often visited their home. Evans was a small boy and Matthew was still a baby. I am so sorry about the loss. Rest in Peace.

I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Flora... Flora had been such an inspiring scholar, a firm advocate for social justice, and a warm & supporting mentor. I met Flora while attending PhD program at UT-Arlington, and to this day, I still recall her warm smile and encouraging words. Rest in peace, dear Flora, you will truly be missed. Love, Qian

I am a better policy analyst, a stronger advocate, and a more thoughtful human for knowing Flora. Rest in peace dear Flora, your spirit and vision for social justice lives on through our work at Every Texan. Much love, Amanda
