To the Iodice Family,
We remember Flo from Holy Family School. We would always see her there for Cathi's Pre-K pick-up. Our son, Eric, would call Flo "Nannie" and she'd give him a big hug.

Joann and Joy,
My sincere sadness goes out to you. Aunt Flo was a great lady and I loved her very much. She was always so proud of her family and there wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them. It has been along time since I have seen any of you. But I want you to know I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Iodice family,
So sorry to hear of Florence's passing. I worked with her at Grasmere School. As a matter of fact she was instrumental in me getting hired by Joe Ricciotti. You see I am Italian and Florence took a liking to me. Even though Joe was principal, we all knew that Florence ran the school.
She will be missed. Hoping fond memories ease the pain of your loss.
