I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Florence, I was her Avon lady for many years and really enjoyed all the time that I spent with her and Les when he was alive. They were both amazing people and I miss her dearly. She was truly one of the nicest persons I have ever known. Rest in peace my friend.

I am so sad to hear of Florence's passing. She and Les were two of my favorite people in the whole wide world. I loved every minute I spent with them. They were delightful people. I know that Florence is full of joy to be together again with her beloved Les.
