Words can’t explain what your mother meant to me in my earlier years. She was definitely one of those West Hills mothers you respected and listened to. When she thought or saw me doing something in the neighborhood, she would say ” Child take you butt home or I’m telling your mother”, I definitely put my head down and hurried home trying to beat that phone call to the house. My moms was always waiting there for me. I’m glad that during the past years I was able to visit with her where she would talk about anything that crossed her mind. And as always I would just sit there and listen to what she had to say. During our talks she brought back memories that I had forgot about or didn’t know. I can say I will surely miss your mother. Love You Mrs. Flynn
A beautiful flower has been plucked from the garden life. She fought a good fight. She kept the faith. She finished her course. Now she’s in God’s care until we meet again. Precious memories, oh how they linger.
Mrs. Jonnie P. Flynn was a sweet, loving and kind person. The McCreary family will truly miss her but her memories will live on in our heart.

Deepest sympathy
What a beautiful woman, Mrs. Flynn was. I am very sorry to read of your loss. With her accomplishments, her love and joys, she was an amazing woman! I won’t pretend to know what you’re going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, “Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.” I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved mother, grandma and friend. Sincerely, Meryl
