Florence and I were friends for a short time, but that friendship was very dear to me. I met her on a Road Scholar trip and visited her twice after that. Special memories.

I met Flo on a Rhode Scholar trip to Nashville several years ago. She captured my heart and amazed me with her stories of pulling her trailer and camping out all the way there and back. We kept in touch and I was so fortunate to visit her twice in Massachusetts. She was such a dear and lovely person..

Richard Hickey and Family,

I was so sorry to read about your
Mother's passing. I didn't find
about it until I was reading the
paper after supper tonight.
By then, it was too late to go to
the wake. I was at jury duty all
day today and didn't have contact
with anyone from work. Please
accept my sincerest condolences.
