So very sorry for your loss.
Gloria and Sandy, so sorry to hear that Florence passed away. She was loved by so many. Her cakes were the very best! 55 years ago she baked our beautiful wedding cake. Twenty one years ago, she baked our daughter, Donna’s wedding cake. Both cakes were beautiful and delicious!! Will have you all in my thoughts and prayers. Both of you were good and faithful daughters.
Gloria and family, so sorry for your loss. Mrs. Florence was a dear, sweet lady. Your family will be in prayers over the coming days.
Miss Florence was my “heart mom”, a house away, but spent every day with this loving family and my “sisters” Lynette, Sandy and Gloria- sending all my love and rememberances of your special mom. Love, Faye Drucker Spiegel

Such a loss to the community she was a always a special lady in my book. So sorry for your loss
will always remember her smile and I always got a hug from her when she was doing weddings at Moose Lodge.
I grieve with you. Florence was always smiling, supportive, and positive. She was a doer and a great example of southern, christian womanhood. I wish I could be in attendance at the service.
Aunt Florence was truly the epitome of a Christian Southern Lady; she loved everyone & she was greatly loved by all. Prayerful thoughts to Gloria, Sandy & Lynnette at this sad time.
Sandy, so sorry for your loss; thoughts are with you and your family, Judy & Joe Hammond

I loved Ms Florence. She always made me feel special around her. So sorry for your lost Gloria, Sandy, and Lynette. Feel terrible that our family will not be there. I just told Janet, Jim is in Greece, and I just started a new job and could not get away. Please know that my love and prayers are for you guys.
