Such a caring, loving, wonderful lady! Always enjoyed visiting with her and listening to stories of times past. Many a time she would bring me cake, treats, supper, and Mmmm, Mmmm the caramel rolls….!! I am thankful to have been her neighbor and gotten to know her. I have thought about her and her family often over the years. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Godspeed Florence…
