MS. FLORENCE IS ONE OF THE SWEETEST LITTLE CHRISTIAN LADIES WE HAVE EVER KNOWN. WE KNOW SHE IS WITH JESUS CHRIST NOW AND HER LIFE ON THIS EARTH MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR EVERYONE SHE CAME IN CONTACT WITH. WE LOVED HER VERY MUCH AND WE WILL MISS HER BUT WE WILL SEE HER AGAIN BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS CHRIST DID FOR US ON THAT CROSS!

We met Ms. Florence when she attended a crafts class with my wife at the Screamer Fire Dept. in the late nineties. She was a wonderful lady. I pray for the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit to rest on her family in the days following.

A great loss and such a good friend and great lady, we often talked about how blessed she was. Words can't express my sorrow for the family at this time, but I feel assured she has a new body today, may God bless you and fill the vacancy with his love.
