Florence was a kind, generous, caring and inspirational woman. I met her at Buckley as my mom resides there. She always had a hug and a kiss for me. I'm Polish as well, so we greeted each other with a "How are you?" in Polish. I will miss seeing her smiling face when I can return to Buckley. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful person and I look forward to seeing her in Heaven someday!
