I just found out about Florence's passing and I would like to express my sympathy to her family. When you are neighbors for 18 years, you become a part of each others memories. Florence was a very strong and compassionate woman. Eddie's children were playmates with my children. I am so sorry to all of you for your loss!

I am sorry to read of the passing of your loved one Florence. Florence used to tend to my grandparents Fred and Leatha Thompson on Maury St. She was such a wonderful lady and loved by all in our family.
