Dear Florence family,
As my sister Claudia mentioned in her message below we had just reminisced about your family.I have fond memories of my friendship with Sara Jane from elementary school. I was so very sorry and surprised to see her obituary. Please accept my very deepest sympathies.

Dear Joe and Kaye,
My heartfelt condolences go out to you and your beautiful family. Coincidentally, I was just mentioning Sara Jane's name a few weeks ago. My youngest sister, Mamo, bought the family home a while back and recently acquired a pontoon boat. I asked her husband to drive the boat over to what I believed to be your family home's back yard and reminisced about the good old days. Your special family stands out. I specifically mentioned Sara Jane since she was the same age as my sister,Jody. A week later, on the way to visit my sister again, I drove my husband down Longdale to show him your house from the front and wondered how your wonderful family was doing. After all these years and now that I am retired, I have finally have time to reflect. All my love to you, your Mom and sisters. I have such fond memories of all of you. Claudia
