Aunt Florence was the Matriarch of our Mallek Family! She embraced her Catholic faith which sustained her while trusting in Jesus Divine Mercy! I really had the joy of visiting more in the latter stage of her life! She was always, welcoming, attentive, appreciative and just radiated love and gratitude! I pray that she will be in the company of those many loved ones who have faithfully departed. May our Blessed Mother lead her to God!

I was Florences hairdresser when she lived at Village Green. We spent many years together as client and friend. She was the kindest sweetest lady. She was so good to everyone she knew and always went out of her way to do things for others. I am so thankful I got to be her friend. ❤
