Not sure what to say?

I am sad that you are gone

I am grateful that you are at peace

You were the most loyal, caring, faithful, thoughtful person I have ever known

The world was a better place with you in it

I feel privileged to have been your daughter

You will be thought of often and missed always

I knew Florence through my longtime, dear friend Eileen. We met and spoke a lot on the phone when Eileen would come and stay with her Mom and help her out with sewing, washing windows, paint, etc.I loved her laugh and the way she would kid with me about Eileen and myself never running out of things to say to each other.I think of Eileen as a loving, caring daughter and friend and know how much she loved her mother and father.I know she has gone home to be with the Lord and is at peace....

Auntie Florence I will miss you. Summers at mom and Nana's won't be the same without you and the gang.

Nana was very special to me, our birthdays were only 5 days apart and we always celebrated them together. She always called me her fellow "sag" (as in sagittarius) and that was special to me. I will miss the sparkle in her eye and her infectious laughter. She was always willing to play with her grandchildren, she truly saw the joy in life. I will miss her dearly.

The things I'll miss most about my Nana is playing paper dolls with her, listening to her stories, getting hugs, playing with her phone that was connected to her garage, and most of all, her caring attitude towards everyone. I remember calling her "Neenew" when I couldn't pronounce "Nana". I can always remember her happy, she was never angry at anyone. She was so special to me, and I will always have a place in my heart for her. Wow, what a beautiful woman. I hope I can accomplish as much she...

Telling stories, peeling apples, paper dolls, playing office, shopping, square dancing, wrapping presents, going out to eat,caring, talking, laughing, loving. I will miss the best Nana in the whole world.
