Patsy Glass Duncan, I was close to Florence all through school. I stayed many nights at her house. She was a beautiful talented friend. I know her family will miss her. We use to play hopscotch with Rosalye and Marilyn Eustis

Marian Ann Love - Florence and I used to walk home together from high school and I cherish our conversations and knowing her from the first grade to the twelve grades. She carried herself with elegance and grace. She will be sadly missed by all her classmates, family and friends.

Jackie Doiron Florence will be missed very much!
