She was the whole reason why I would tune in to MBC Radio one mainly during her night shifts…. The music she played, the comments she made, the research she made, the issues she discussed with her listeners, the respect she portrayed towards her listener during phone in programs, the passion & the zeal she had for radio! what a loss. She was one Fearless Talented female broadcaster who taught me how to manage my radio audience. I will forever be in your debt mama. Rest well Flora. Till we meet again.”
