I loved visiting Nick & Flo on trips to Connecticut and have such fond memories of playing with their dog, Malcolm, while my parents caught up with them over delicious meals. Flo's hospitality was unmatched and she always made us feel like family. My favorite memory with Flo is when we were "roomies" at Nick & Jenn's wedding - she got the couch, I got the deflated air mattress! Sending you all so much love. Rest in peace, Flo.

I´m so sorry to hear that Florence has passed away. I remember so many fun times we had on Lloyd Street driving around in her little sports car. She was a very sweet lady. Rest in peace Flo

Dear Nicholas, you probably won´t remember me but I met you the day after you were born. Although I´ve not seen Flo in a long time, we worked together at Fugazy Travel for many years during which (and for long after) she and Nick were two of my closest friends. Wine tasting, corkscrew collecting, gingerbread cookie baking at Christmas, dinner parties and so many other wonderful memories. My deepest condolences to you Nicholas and to your family. Rest in peace Flo. xxx

Dear Nick; I met your mother m when I was about 5 years old and she worked at Fugazy Travel with my father Nils. My mom would stop in sometimes with me and my sister Tina to say hi to my dad and your mom would always get us a piece of carbon paper so we could write on it and make copies. This was before copy machines! Ocean I graduated high school I got a job at Fugazy (my mom & sister did too) and who did we work with? Flo! I'm so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
