Dear family,
I worked on the bench next to Florence at Gulton Ind. she was so much fun to know! I left Gulton to continue my education. I´ve always missed her since. Sorry to just learn she has passed. It´s 2022 as I write this. I still have a handwritten poem she wrote since we worked together.

Nancy & Family,
My deepest sympathy on your loss.Florence was quite the lady and although I have not been in contact with her the past few years, I was able to have a short talk with her this winter and I believe it pleased her as much as it did me. She had been thru some tough times, but always seem to be strong. I truly believe God helps us thru these times and look forward to seeing her again someday in heaven.

Dear Nancy,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I know how much you love her and how big of a role she played in your life. Rest assured knowing that Moms never leave you...for even though they depart from this physical world...they continue to be that voice you hear gently guiding you. I'm sure your sister was there to welcome her into Heaven and now they are both watching over you and your Family. Keep the Faith...it gets you by in so many ways...believe me I know.
Take Care my Friend & God Bless
