Janet, Its been a long time. When I saw your mother's name I thought it was her. I remember her having so much patience wih us as teenagers in Weleetka. I know she will be missed and I'm so glad I just happened to see this. Please take care and wish we could get together sometime. Diane Wamsley Pletcher, Davis, OK

I worked with Florence at Dillards in late 1970's. She was a wonderful employee and good person. She is in a much better place,

Memories of her go back to more than 50 years. It is wonderful that Janet and Dale have shared their love and care for her and will always have memories of her in their hearts.

I know this is a hard time, but you have so many loving memories to look back on. Remember when she went on one of the Rambles as a chaperone? I was amazed at how easy going and laid back she was! She was a wonderful woman and she passed on her wonderfulness to her daughter. Love and peace, Sharman

As it was while your Mom was living, our thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. God bless you both......

Janet and Dale, you took such good care of your mother. She was lucky to have both of you all these years. She was a good mother with a warm heart who cared about you deeply, as you did her. I'm glad you have so many memories - even this last Christmas and Janet's birthday. These memories will give you comfort as you grieve losing her physical presence in your lives. You will never lose who she was and what she gave to you. Love, Melinda and Toney Foster
