I am Mary Ostrowski, long-time (and eternal) friend of Flora and Cliff Adams.
I first met Flora after meeting Cliff at (then) Bethel Independent Presbyterian Church in 1991, when he immediately asked us to join them at their home for evening Bible study. Many years were spent studying, praying and fellowshipping with them, with Flora's great HOSPITALITY, and with Ann and Sandy Mitchell, and Jo and Bob Bewley. 
My son Andrew was picked up after first grade from St. Thomas' Episcopal School, EVERY DAY for BIBLE READING and STUDY, by Flora! The impact of this ETERNAL INVESTMENT was manifested with we drove on a long road trip with a Rice engineering student, originally  from India. After a LONG BIBLE STUDY and EVANGELISM, which Andrew had learned from Flora, he asked the student, "Now, What have we learned?" CLASSIC Flora!!! and Thank you and praise to OUR GOD and SAVIOR, OUR LORD JESUS!!!
We join our voices with yours and many as we celebrate FLORA'S  LIFE WELL LIVED: she was and IS a GREAT CHRISTIAN,  WORSHIPPER, and SERVANT of OUR LORD JESUS!!!
Andrew may want to add his own comment/s, but I want to take this opportunity to honor Flora and OUR GREAT GOD and SAVIOR with you now.

Good day!
I am Mary Ostrowski, a long term friend of Flora and Cliff Adams.
I first met Cliff and Flora at Bethel Independent Presbyterian Church in late 1991. Cliff immediately asked us to join a Bible study in their home, which we did for decades with Ann and Sandy Mitchell and Jo and Bob Bewley. We prayed and fellowshipped through many years, and multiple grandchildren. When Cliff had his heart transplant at the Methodist Hospital, I was able to witness this long-term miraculous event, as I worked in the medical field in that hospital,  years before Cliff went home.
Miss Flora picked my son Andrew up from St. Thomas Episcopal School EVERY day after the first grade, and they studied the Bible together! This great influence was manifested when we took a student from India on a long road trip. Andrew used his Bible teaching and evangelistic skills, learned from Flora, as he shared the gospel with this student, finished a LONG lesson, and closed with, "Now, What have we learned?" Classic Flora!!! Thank you, Flora and her LORD!!!
Andrew may want to share something more, but I did not want to miss the opportunity to salute Flora, a beautiful soldier for Christ, and Our Lord for using her so mightily!

Miss Flora has always been so kind to our family, which is part of the familly through Mindi's marriage to DE.  She loved her daughter-in-law, Mindi (my sister), which I greatly appreciated.  When she lived in Cedar Park for a time, she was part of our holidays and other special family moments.  I treasure the time I was able to spend with her at those points and at Adams family events.  

Please accept my deepest sympathy.  Flora was special to me, as she was to so many, and I thank God for allowing our paths to cross.

I don’t need to tell you that Flora was an extremely powerful witness/good and faithful servant.  I’m not sure I have ever met anyone who lived their faith so persistently.  It was intricately woven into every aspect of her life.  She marched forward as a faithful Christian, as life challenged her in so many ways.  I recall that when she was no longer able to get around well, she ministered via phone.  Wow!  Never once did I hear her complain about her Parkinson’s or any pain or trial she was experiencing.  She was, without exception, always speaking of the Lord’s goodness.  

I also give her credit and thanks on behalf of my dad for encouraging me to purchase a computer for him and help him learn email when he was in his 80s.  It was a bit of a struggle at first, but he was so proud when he was finally able to communicate with us electronically.  

My thoughts and earnest prayers will continue to be with you as you grieve the loss of one so dear.  May the assurance of Flora rejoicing in the presence of her Savior as she joins your dad in heaven bring you peace and comfort.



Aunt Flora loved Jesus and lived for Him like no other person I have ever met. 

Aunt Flora was my father's sister. When my brothers and I were still at home, Dad and Mom would send us from California to Houston to stay with Uncle Cliff, Aunt Flora and our cousins for a few weeks during our summers.

My fondest memory was probably hair raising for Aunt Flora while we lived it with them. Houston had a massive flood. During the rain storm, we went grocery shopping with Aunt Flora while Uncle Cliff was at work. I know that she would not have gone grocery shopping that day, had she known the flood would be so bad.

On the way home, she ended up having to park  their car at a church parking lot that was on higher ground. We walked home from there, carrying all the perishables. My youngest brother, Glenn, was probably somewhere on the younger side of between 5 and 9 and I think David Earl was younger than that.

As we walked home, getting soaking wet, we passed many bayous that must have given Aunt Flora gray hair as she had to shepherd us home. I still remember seeing a man in a canoe paddling by us on one of the streets.

There is so much more I could tell, but there is not time or space.

During our times with Aunt Flora and Uncle Cliff, she made sure we had Bible studies during the day. I am certain through her prayers and through those Bible studies, the foundation was laid for my walk with Jesus now.

When I grow up I want to be like Aunt Flora.

Thank You, Lord, for her influence on my life.
