Wendy, The deceased was a member of the fraternal organization called the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, I.O.O.F. The female organization is the Rebekahs (this spelling!) The organization is very much like the Masons and Eastern Star. F L & T stands for Friendship, Love, and Truth. The other motto of the IOOF is Faith, Hope and Charity.
