    I am deeply saddened to hear of Flo’s passing.

    Although I haven’t seen her in a few years, I have so many wonderful childhood memories from time spent at Flo and Bob’s with the Bibby crew. As a child I thought Flo’s kitchen was one of the best places in the world. The kettle was always on, there was always something good to eat, there was always room for one more chair around the table and there was always laughter, joking, stories and friendship.

    She was one of the sweetest, friendliest and kindest people that I have ever known.

    I’ll bet she already has a batch of fudge on the stove and is making heaven a sweeter place.

    Unfortunately I can’t make it down to Exeter today to help celebrate her life but am sending my condolences to you all.

    ~Susie

    Sending my deepest sympathy to the Bibby family. Looking through your pictures I could feel the deep roots and the love of this family. I have known several members of this family for many years and I was a classmate of Tom. I also wonder in amazement at the amount of patience, time and energy that this woman had. The love of her family was all that mattered to her. Something that she has passed on to each and every one of you. Remember her with a smile and keep each other close . My thoughts are with you

    How many potatoes did this lady peel, how many pieces of bread did she put together to make sandwiches, and how many happy faces gazed upon this woman and called her Mother and Friend? Too many to list but let me tell you, this wonderful Lady had my heart to moment she greeted me.. My sincere condolences to the Bibby Family. Lois was one of a kind with the warmest of hearts and a smile that drew you right in. Your Mother will be greatly missed but her life lessons will never be forgot.

    And another chapter closes…warm hugs to one of the strongest, most loving, ladies I have ever met. As I think of times past when I was made so welcome at the Bibby home, the meals the laughter, the fun and the great talks we had. She raised a wonderful family which is a legacy within it’s self. She will be deeply missed and forever loved by all who knew her. The memories that remain will be a buckler for you, that will have you laughing and shedding both happy and sad tears as you miss her. As Jesus takes your needs to the Father’s throne room, I have been joining Him in prayer, Love and Hugs to all, Judy
