I fondly remember Florence from church at St. Pat’s. She was a friend of my mother’s and what a big help she was to me when Mother passed away. I also recall that little twinkle she’d get in her eyes and the cute chuckle she would often produce. She led a good life and was a hard worker. My sympathies to her family.

I remember aunt Florence growing up with Terri. I think we drove her crazy being on the phone and listening to records instead of being constructive young ladies 🙂
I would like to wish all family members that I have met/been close to over the years my most heartfelt sympathy. Florence was such a blessing to you all. Albeit, she was stubborn and headstrong at times, she always had the best intentions toward her family and friends. She was always a delight to be around and talk with. All of my memories of her have been so warm no matter they be of a serious tone or thinking of her laughter and light side. She will be so missed by everyone whose life she has ever touched. May she rest in peace; and, you all remember her with loving hearts rather than sad hearts as it would be what she would wish for you. (And, I would very much have liked to have been there with and for all of you except that I had been away and just returned to the area to learn of Florence’s passing.)
