Florence was also my grandmother. She gave all of us in our family her unconditional love and never asked for anything but a good conversation and a hearty card game.
She had a loving and beautiful smile for anyone at anytime.
I am one of many who has lost another piece of his heart with the passing of Florence and her daughter Jeanette (My Step-Mom) so close together in time.
I will miss you, but I will keep all the many happy and loving memories we had as a family close to my heart forever.

I was so sorry to learn of my Aunt Florence’s passing. She was such a joy to know and always had a smile, kind words, and caring heart. I enjoyed many a card game, family dinners and many other memories I’ll hold dear. She and my father shared many of the same traits and were so much alike. I know she’ll be missed. I’m so gald to have known her.
