Jean, Nancy, and all of Florence's family, We are so saddened to hear that your Mother(another "Basil Belle") has passed. She was such a sweet, kind lady and we enjoyed having her as a neighbor for several years. She was beautiful inside and out! We bought our boat from Fred and we enjoyed it with our kids and friends for many years! We are sorry to miss the funeral since we will be out of town Friday and Saturday. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May your wonderful memories bring you peace and comfort in the day ahead.

Florence was a sweetheart and great Mother-in-Law. My heart and prayers go out to the family at this difficult time. Florence may have been taken away from us but the memories will be with us forever!

Dear Nancy,
The day has come all too soon. As we've discussed many times, it doesn't matter how old they are, or how old we are - the loss of "Mom" is as profound at 60 as it is 20. I totally understand your pain which is why I truly am sorry you are going through this. I am glad you (and your sister) were able to be with her, and, know, how fortunate you both were to have her for so long.
Take care Nanc, know I'm thinking about you and will see you next week.

Dear Jean & Nancy,
I am so sorry for you both. I can only hope that Aunt Floss is together with my Mom, Gram and all her loved ones, talking, laughing and eating Polish food.

Dear family of Florence,
What a sweet wonderful person she was and will be greatly missed. She always had a smile. For as long as she could she always had sewn, knitted, etc. something for our Annual Rib's n' Raffle that benefited St. Basil School. You could always count on her for that. My father, who is deceased, crossed paths with her many times as they were a part of the Center for the Arts, and I myself didn't know her at that time.
May the knowledge of knowing that Florence is with our heavenly Father give you peace and comfort.
