When Cyn was growing up, she was one of five female cousins who dubbed themselves “the FLI Girls”. The other members were Diana, Inez, VJ and Theresa. I want to say they got the name from the show "In Living Color", but I'm not sure.
Theresa has described a little about their group in a previous blog entry. Although I was not an official member, they treated me like some sort of honorary member, as I was often the one driving them around.

I have a distinct memory of taking all of them to Hollister to take group pictures. I also recall bringing them to Payless Shoe Source to buy beige boots so they could all match. Then there was their infamous trip to Great America, which I think our whole family will always remember.
The FLI Girls also performed dance routines at the Golden Anniversary for our grandparents. They held secret meetings in our 15 passenger Dodge van when it was parked on the side of our house. They even had nicknames for each member.
Cyn always had special relationships with each person in her life, and her cousins were no exception. I have fond memories of the FLI Girls, and am happy to have been considered an honorary member.
