I can't believe Tuesday you will have been gone from my life for 3 years. I miss you so much Gram and think about you all the time. I want you to know that Aubrie misses you very much and has the photo of the two of you cuddled together on her iPod so she can see you all the time.
51 years was not enough time to have you in my life, but I am sure you and Grampy are happy and together again. Love and Miss you always!!

So sorry for your loss. What a good long life Florence enjoyed. So many cannot say the same. She was one of those the Bible call especially strong. Ps. 90:10

To the family: So sorry for your loss. "Gram" lived a long life and was a true "lady". Her family meant the world to her and it was evident they felt the same about her. I am so glad I got to meet her. You are all in my thoughts, my prayers and my heart at this time.
