I wanted to send my sincere sympathy to all of you. Florine was such a wonderful woman with a warm smile for everyone. I met Florine and your father Paul when I started working in Ankeny with the Special Ed. preschool program. They were such a team and loved all the children that rode their bus. Then after they had retired I was surprised to find Florine on Bus 32 once again helping with the special ed. children. Florine was a great example to all of us, she always had a kind word, a loving heart, and a smile for everyone. I know that she and Paul are together once again.
