On behalf of Walter Michalowski and our family, we extend our deepest sympathy to your family. My father, Walter, worked with Florence for his entire career as a police officer in No. Riverside. He considered Florence one of his best friends and he admired her immensely. He still says, "Florence is the woman who really ran the village". I imagine she is reorganizing heaven.

May her family take comfort knowing she loved them with her whole heart. I will always remember her feisty personality, that I know she used to cover up her vulnerability. She was a "SPECIAL LADY".

During this difficult time, may the memories of love and a long life well lived bring you comfort. Thinking of you and yours in prayer and remembering a true lady and a presence in so many fond memories.
