To me, Florence's passing signifies the end of a era. It is with great sadness that I write this, as I recall those simpler days when visiting her and Evelyn at their Port Bay cottage with my best friend, Tom.
Florence was always kind, caring and very hospitable...cornerstones of a time and era when life was simpler...an era that seems to be slipping away from us.
She will be remembered fondly, as she is laid to rest, and now is surely dwelling in His Eternal Kingdom.
