Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
My thoughts and prayers go to the family of Florine. She was such a wonderful person and I remember her fondly. She was a mom to all of us kids in the neighborhood when we were growing up. I remember my mom talking her into taking her first class in painting. The first exhibit she won. I remember that day as if it was not that long ago. Love from the Baker family
I wish I could be there for the services tomorrow, but I only got the news a couple of hours ago and there’s no way to make it on time. The things I remember most about Grandma was that when I was young, she took me to the museum whenever she visited and always got me books of children’s literature and poetry. She planted a love of the written word and an appreciation for all the arts that I carry with me to this day. More than that, she always encouraged me to be myself, no matter how hard it seemed, and I will always remember her for it. She will be missed.
Bob: Although we didn’t have a chance to meet your mother, We’re sure she was a wonderful mother and someone who will be greatly missed. Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Florine will be missed by her friends and Family Prescription Shop. Our thoughts and prayers are with our good friend Bob and his family.
She was a wonderful person, always ready to help out. She was and always will be a mentor for me. She was the most wonderful mother-in-law/grandmother to me and her grandchildren Daniel and Kristene. I will never forget her.
Please accept my sincerest sympathy on Florine’s passing. She was a lovely person and a fine artist. Kansas Art Guild will miss her.
I will miss Florine and her art. What a sweet spirit she had.
Maurine, I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
