What an amazing individual he was. I remember he was still wearing skirts and going by male pronouns, not having taken his first shot of T, but on his way. I admired him for being comfortable with himself, not caring what others thought of his bi-genderism, and I was there when he took his first T shot.<br /><br />Flo was truly talented, witty, snarky, intelligent, funny and serious, all at the same time. What a wonderful conundrum he was. So sorry and sad for your lost, but he was doing what he loved when he died. Most of us will never have that feeling, to do what you love doing, and not what you have to do.<br /><br />Love- "Pavlov"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939436612576612060.post-63761457202827426482011-05-11T01:07:04.670-05:002011-05-11T01:07:04.670-05:00Andrew love~

I met Flo in Roswell, I know his year was a difficult one there however he made my time there so much fun and I will cherish those memories. It was the best year of my life and he was the person responsible for bringing our group together. I knew Flo was special, but had no idea of what a visionary he truly was, I guess some things you take for granted. This occurrence has really changed my perspective on life! Lastly after a night of drinking on Friday telling anyone who would listen about to me rant about Flo, Saturday afternon I was sleeping off my hangover when in my dream Flo was there, with a beautiful blonde haired girl, telling me he was ok and and I just squeezed him in my arms. My best wishes to your family.<br /><br />D.Bogusb ogushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311756738042735608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939436612576612060.post-7479559793983641512010-01-18T07:37:13.082-06:002010-01-18T07:37:13.082-06:00Andrew I have been away and have just learned of F...Andrew I have been away and have just learned of Flo's passing. Flo was the first person that I thought of when I heard about the tragedy in Haiti. I have not been on the computer until this morning and scanned something on FB that Marcia wrote. My heart stopped when I read that the earthquakes toll included Flo. Dear Andrew my heart breaks at this news. Your sweet and treasured relationship has always been apparent in your writings about Flo but never more so than in this tribute. It is such a beautiful and loving description of a very special soul. Now instead of dancing in the rain she is dancing in the sunshine. Thank you for writing this and sharing such beautiful insight into Flo's life. I share in this loss of a great human being. You and your family will be in my prayers.

Having shared some of Flo's journey with us, it was particularly poignant to read the biography of your family life with him from the early years. <br /><br />May you and your family be able to come to peace with the events of the past week and know, as many others have said, that he was living the life that he wanted, and creating the art that was so vital to his life. His legacy will be his art, and the family that loved him so much.<br /><br />You are in my thoughts constantly this week,<br />and with deepest sympathy from David and I,<br /><br />MarciaMarcianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939436612576612060.post-3029322966597205242010-01-17T01:15:54.185-06:002010-01-17T01:15:54.185-06:00Andrew, your post and this story touched me.

The people who, in our lives, provide the freest spirit, the most diverse level of personal choice and the strongest individuality are so important because they keep us all soft and open. Loving them is loving life itself. <br /><br />I can image the gap that this leaves. I hope, that in the face of it, you and your family can find peace with the fact that he was doing what he wanted -- and needed -- to do. Not many people can say that.<br /><br />Again, my deepest sympathies.Diana Strinati Baurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152721181032796074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1939436612576612060.post-6124803320175021712010-01-17T00:06:11.771-06:002010-01-17T00:06:11.771-06:00Andrew,
