Sandy, and all of you Sarnowski grandkids, so sorry gramma Flossie is gone. I'll never, ever forget how cool she was! I remember back to being a kid and thinking she was the coolest grandma I ever met because she drank beer! She was so sweet and I'm sure that's why all of you are too! I have such great memories of the cottage and all of you. I wish you all the best and may she not only rest in peace, but may she always be within you all!

Flossie was the next door neighbor to my sister,Pat, when I was growing up in Appleton. I remember her as the best neighbor anyone could have. She was always helpful and cheerful. My condolences to the family.

Her nice smile and upbeat personality will never be forgotten, nor all the nice memories from out at the lake
