I have a friend that sticks closer than a brother, and his name is Jesus. Solomon spoke a word in Proverbs 17:17, saying, "A friend loves at all times." Talking about a friend that sticks closer than a brother and a friend that loves at all times, I had biological brothers and sisters, but none of them were in my life. I was the only one out of eight that was not in the home with them. On September 25, 1975, when I found my way to the Cross, Jesus told me, "I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you. I'm going to be with always." On June 19, 2021, I was at my church that Saturday morning, crying and praying. I felt so all alone. I was under such heavy burdens. I felt like what the prophet Isaiah said, "When the enemy shall come in like a flood." As I was crying, talking to the Lord, telling him, "I feel so all alone. I don't have anybody," I heard Jesus say unto me, "I am your friend that sticks closer than a brother." Jesus told me, "Begin writing the book, and title it I Have a Friend That Sticks Closer than a Brother, His Name Is Jesus."

Throughout her life, the homespun advice of Florence's mother and grandmother has guided and sustained her. Florence may not have always followed it, but she always found out they were right in the end. As she meditates on the wisdom they offered her and tells her own story of redemption, Florence pays homage to the two women that most influenced her life. Their down-to-earth approach is perfectly captured in the reflections on their lives and the timeless wisdom that they passed on. These strong women faced slavery, racism, gender discrimination, and many other hindrances; however, they overcame powerfully, and their stories transcend those barriers of resistance. Their love for family and neighbor and their steadfast adherence to core values continues to be an inspiration. Remember What I Told You will help you recall the wisdom that you've gleaned from your own family as you learn from these amazing women. 'After having read the manuscript a second time, I found myself perusing the story, amazed at how each of the characters' lives are strangely entwined with the others and how they evolve and blend into the flow of the main plot, which is to encourage family values that permeate through the social fabric of our lives and society.' Rev. Paul R. Williams (UK/Afro-Caribbean Historian and Media Journalist) '[Flo's] family stories and examples in this book are truly remarkable. They give you a clear picture of the Bible scriptures that she is referencing. Remember What I Told You is real down-home stuff and a great inspiration! I encourage everyone to read it. It's appealing to both young and old.' S. Norwood Thornton (Entrepreneur/Entertainer)
