I had the privilege of seeing Florence every other week. She mothered me, lifted me up, encouraged me, and told me wonderful stories of her life. Florence didn't have a judgmental bone in her body. She was so proud of her kids and grandkids and great-grandkids. And she loved Chloe. I am so lucky to have had this kind, sweetly funny, gracious lady in my life. I miss you, Florence. Love you.
