Ken, Marcia and families: We are all thinking of you at this time of great loss. It’s been many, many years since we’ve seen Florene or any of you. Your Mom loved to get phone calls from Norma and Barbara and others, so we have kept up with you through the years. May you find comfort in knowing family and friends are here for you and share in your sorrow. No one can ever take the place of your mother. She loved you all.
We always admired your mother’s caring and selfless nature. She was amazing!! Her devotion to your dad and care of Grandma Rob was exceptional. Sending you our love. May you find comfort in knowing you are not alone, you are surrounded by those who care for you.
