My sincere sympathy to the family. Florence was a wonderful person and neighbor. We had some great times with our neighbors growing up. She will be greatly missed by many.
Florence was a welcoming neighbor, full of good humor and taking interest in others… even my dog! She often said how she wished I could have met her husband Kenny, who died shortly before I moved in. I am glad to think of them reunited in heaven, but am sad for her family here on earth, and sad for the neighborhood! She was wonderful and I will miss her very much.
Our sincere sympathy to the entire family of Florence – she will be dearly, dearly missed – we all loved her very much and we were blessed to have had known her and have her be part of our lives. She will be remembered for being a very kind, gentle, loving and spiritual woman – we all are better for having known her. I know how much my Dad will miss her – he loved her dearly and spoke of her EVERY time I would call him….We love you all!!
