Florence Dalbec BARIL

I have sweet memories of Aunt Florence putting on a huge, delicious family dinner when my mom and I came to visit the Baril clan in 1989. My love and sympathy to all.

Thank you dear Michele and Steve, Paul and Lori, for your kind and loving comments here. The world was made a better place for her having lived among us and having shared such a great capacity for unconditional love! She will be missed...

I have such fond memories of my Aunt Florence. Truly her love of music and art, dance and theater was a gift to her family, friends, and wider community. She was so far ahead of the organic gardening and healty eating curve, and her joie de vivre was heart-warming, her passion, independence and tenacity inspiring. She was deeply loved, and I will fondly carry memories of Florence in my heart.

I met you, Dear "Aunt Flo", but knew you not. But you are always invited to my Tennessee home for any or no reason .
Ditto your family.

What a beautiful tribute to an amazing woman. One of the things I have always admired about my wonderful Aunt Florence is that she managed somehow to slip the noose that religion can often be. Her free spirit, unwillingness to bend to life's hardships, and an undying optimism were qualities that made her shine like a light for so many people! And she will continue to live on in the lives of those she loved so dearly.

Dearest Baril Family-So sorry to hear about the loss of sweet Florence. .Your Mom was one of the kindest and most talented people I've ever known. She always had something nice to say. I will always remember when we all gathered around the piano and sang songs. She had such a beautiful voice and such a talent for playing the piano. Florence loved playing Scrabble with Mom and enjoying each other's company. They were the best of friends. I loved your Mom. She is singing with the angels in...
