Anyone who knew Florence,  or  Flossie as as called her,, knew how special she was and will never forget her.   We were suite mates while attending St. Louis Institute of Music in the late 1950's and had an instant connection since we were both from Texas.   She was a great role model in every way,

My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.  She was such a sweet lady. My parents lived next door to her until they moved to assisted living. It was so nice to catch up with her every time I visited.  May God’s unending love surround you during this difficult time.

I met Florence when we both were students at St. Louis Institute of
Music in 1956.  She was an instant friend and a  very special lady.
We all knew there was something special about "Flossie".   We have
kept up with each other via mail ever since and I will miss her every
day.

We met Florence and Gene at Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twenty-Nine Palms, CA, in 1982. Gene was serving as one of the more senior Chaplains there. Florence was always helpful and kind, and she and Gene had many friends. We were blessed to become their friends, too. There was a group of folks, both Chaplains and others, who often visited with them, sharing good times and great fellowship. The needs of the Navy sent us to different places, overseas and across our country, but we all stayed close to them in heart, regardless of the miles that separated us. Eventually we all retired from active duty, but our love for each other inspired us to not only keep up with each other, but to meet once a year, for several days at a time, to enjoy our bond of friendship. We've held our "29 Palms Reunions" in Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Orlando, Kannapolis, Virginia, Tennessee, Delaware, Asheville, and we've taken two cruises (Bahamas and Alaska). There were other places that I don't rightly recall.   Florence (and Gene) were faithful servants of our Lord, and their lives were a witness to others about the saving grace of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. They left a legacy of faithfulness and obedience, to the Lord. Our lives are better because of having known and loved them. We pray that the Holy Spirit will comfort Natalie, Lisa, and the entire Snow family. The Bible says, "The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms," (Deut. 33:27).

My husband Alan and I first came to know Florence as members of St. Luke’s Church Choir.  We have been so blessed by her friendship.  About a year ago my husband had surgery for a very serious heart problem.  To this day, I keep a daily reminder on my phone with the following quote Florence shared with me during that difficult time.  “God’s presence with us is one of His greatest presents to us.”  I thank God for Florence and the wisdom she shared to help me and others.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Florence Ann was my very dear friend and one of the best and sweetest people I have ever known.  She was a lifelong friend, as we grew up together in Smiley, Texas and shared many happy memories.  I miss her so.

Our deepest condolences to Natalie, Lisa and their families!  So very sorry for your loss!  Such a lovely lady she was! R. I. P. Mrs. Snow!

Natalie, Lisa and families, your mom will be missed by so many people. Everyone Loved soft spoken Florence. I have many fond memories of her and your dad. I sang in the choir for years while she played and then in later years stood by her while we sang. My family always enjoyed your mom and dad joining us in our many Peterson dinners. We Loved her candied fruit she would bring. I was able to visit her several times in her home at Lutheran Haven and she would drive me around in her golf cart. She really enjoyed that. She was amazing and served God as long as she could. She is finally with your dad and many other loved ones in heaven. God give you all comfort to know she no longer suffers.
