Florence was our neighbor for many years when we lived on East St and Church St. She was always so kind to our growing family. We have such fond memories of her and her family.

My dear Aunt Florence was a woman of great strength, faith and love. She also had a wonderful sense of humor and was a huge Red Sox fan! I am very sad at her passing, and I will miss her terribly, but she has left me with many happy memories and I know that she now rests in peace.
