I am sorry to hear of the passing of Auntie Florence, I know that we have not been close but I remember many things from family Sunday dinners at Grandma and Grandpa’s.
May God be with you at this time and may His love impart the strength, peace and understanding that brings comfort to each of you. She was well loved and her presence will be missed.
Donna and family…
Life brings tears,
smiles and memories.
The tears dry,
the smile fades,
but the memories
live on forever.
Thinking of you at this time, … With heartfelt sympathy.
