Limei,
Thank you for the feedback. "Floradade" (aka "Flora-Dade") is an impressive old-timer (1976?) and it's good to hear it did well for your mother. It has done well here in both greenhouse and field, and it seems to have some disease tolerance built in. Interestingly, for me, the early season Floradade tomatoes were better tasting than those harvested later in the season - the opposite of other varieties. Some of the newer creations from Randy Gardner should also do well for your mom. I need to try them myself. Check out:

Did the OP version of "Fourth of July" do anything for you or your mom? I appreciate any feedback (good or bad) on it's performance. Thanks!
