Although I am not able to attend the service my thoughts and heartfelt sorrow ends to you and your families. I will remember your mother’s sense of peace and calm. I always left from seeing her with some of that same tranquility. My wish is that you both will be able to carry that with you through life.

Florence was a wonderful delightful woman who we enjoyed immensely. We will cherish our memories of her company when she visited us in Colorado and the time we were fortunate to have when we would see her in Ohio. She was a dear friend to our grandfather and brought so much joy to his life.
Our love, thoughts and prayers to her family.
Tom, Jill, Josh, Mason, Matthew, and Ellie Reiter

Aunt Florence was memorable to our family as our elder who give us facts of our family that we may have forgotten. We enjoyed having her at Christmas celebrations the last several years. My daughters and I enjoyed her company very much. She will be missed by many.

We will keep your family in our prayers
