Aunt Florine was indeed the ebullient spirit described by her friend Virginia. We never sew enough of Aunt Florine and Uncle Norvin because of their globe trotting assignments courtesy of the United States Army. They were a sparkling pair whose broad talents and personalities enriched every visit. It is comforting to think of them reunited again.

What a lovely woman has left us! Florine always added joy to every occasion and her uplifting spirit made everyone who knew her feel better. She has been thru so many serious health events in recent years but she always found the positive GOD given grace to help define a moment with Blessings. I will miss her and pray for her family. One of my bright star friends has just left me and my heart weeps. God Bless you family members. She has left us but will help God find happiness and joy. I send oh so much love to dear Florine.
