I spent many nights taking up money for Wednesday Night Dinner with Florence at Mt. Bethel Church! What a joy she was to all who came in contact with her. She welcomed all with her beautiful smile that everyone enjoyed weekly!
Florence loved myself and many with the love of the Lord and I will miss her!!!
