Florence, considered to be frail for a large part of her life, was really made of steel. She lived life courageously and accepted the life God gave her. She rarely complained and lived each day to her full capacity.

There are many wonderful things that I will remember about Florence.
She had a way of lighting up the minute she saw you. Her big blue eyes would become wide and a hugh smile would appear on her face regardless of how she was feeling. She made it easy to love her. Anyone who spent time with her loved her.

My family and I will miss her alot she has been in our lives for for over 20 years. We will always consider her special and feel fortunate to have known her. Our deepest sympathy to your family.
