My Aunt Florence always managed to keep her wonderful sense of humor. For one example, she referred to my Uncle George as "Comey" ! That always "tickled" me (just one of the many "tickles" she gave me.)
The joy and love Aunt Florence gave me and loved ones will truely be missed and never forgotten.
Peace be with her, her family and friends.
Sincerely,
Susan and Ed Pigeon
