Aunt Flo was an amazing woman and will be missed greatly. All our love to Uncle Fran and the entire family. We wish we could make it this weekend for the services. You will all be in our thoughts.
To the family of Florine………my deepest condolences………..I knew and loved this great lady that I met through working at the College. We had the occasion to talk many times regarding the services of her department and the services that my department provided for the campus. She was indeed a wonderful and pleasant lady and I will always remember her cheerful and pleasant personality. Rest in peace my dear friend……………June Vescio Johnston, Retired College Publication Director.
Uncle Fran and family,
We know how much Aunt Florine will be missed, you all loved her so much. She was the heart of her family. Her family meant everything to her.
Aunt Florine lived a long and wonderful life.
Our thoughts go out to all of you at this time of sorrow.
We love you,
Mark, Sandy and Elizabeth
Dear Tom, Jeanne, and family, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. I know she will be greatly missed. I lost my mother a year ago and it was the hardest thing I have had to face. May your good memories give you comfort. Love, Jo Wahrendorf
Florine was a loving, welcoming woman who is already missed. We felt like family from the moment we met her, and our kids felt they knew her through us and Jean. We often attempt to describe to friends – especially when they are raving about “our” wedding cake recipe. She is already missed and remains, in our thoughts and prayers. Our sincere condolences to Her family. With love, Deb, Dave, Gregory, & Amelia
