Florence always welcomed me and my husband and kids with open arms when we visited from Brookline Mass, making sure to have some kosher snacks for us. I remember when Dad was ill, my brother Sam and I were little, Flo would babysit us. She was always friendly, good humored, very "in the moment" and focused on you as a person. I appreciate having to got to know her again as an adult. I arranged the Kaddish prayer to be recited for her in Jerusalem. All our love, Flo! Rebecca Goldman

I still remember Mrs. Goldman as the original feminist. She had amazing strength and was always so kind to the Peterborough kids - in particular, my brother Tom (lost to us last year) and me. Prayers to Stuart, Anne, and their families.

I loved seeing Florence at the Players attending shows, selling raffle tickets, having a snack. It was always a joy to sit down and talk to her. She was smart, sassy, generous, supportive and fun. I'm extremely grateful to have known her. My condolences to her close friends and family.

I first knew Florence when she and her husband Meyer "Mike" Goldman had the Rexall Drug Store on Main Street in the 50s and 60s. It has always been a pleasure to greet her around town, and I last saw her on her 90th birthday at Scott-Farrar. She has been an amazing citizen of Our Town of Peterborough. Hugs to her children Annie and Stuart, and her grandchildren, and all others who loved her.

Mrs. Goldman was my neighbor on Kaufman Dr. circa 1968, when I was child (8 yrs). I remember her as an engaging and truly wonderful, inspirational woman... and I believe she had a very nice manx cat that she shared with all of us. :-) . I have only fond memories of her. My condolences to the Goldman family.
