~ To Bri's beloved Grandmother, Florine.  Jim and I sincerely want to express our condolences to your family at this time of your passing.  

You are now with your wonderful and beloved husband, Walter, together again, as you were once before and you will never to be separated again. Your beautiful daughter, Carol Ann is there to greet you, too along with your other beloved family members.

We will always be most grateful that you accepted our son, James, into your heart and in your home, when he asked Bri for her hand in marriage.  Bri has been a real blessing and wonderful addition to our family with her mother's beauty and intelligence; though I must thank you and Walter, for her character, social graces, and for just being there when she needed your love, guidance, and care.  (I, too, spent time with my own grandmother, when my own father passed away, over fifty years ago.  My grandmother was there for me and my sister, Sandi, when we needed her most.)

Life must go on, that is not our choice to make, we must try to take it in grace and stride.  I hope that in good time, we will meet again, ~ (en francais e' bonne) ~ Au revoir, Florine.  We have always loved and admired you.  Jim and Mari   : )

Aunt Flo, thank you for all of the great memories. I think often of times when I was a child spending the weekends at your house. The food was always great and the company even better. I, as well as the rest of your family, have been blessed to be close to you. 

Love

To my loving sister, what sweet memories we had together. Trips to Niagara Falls and the Smoky's plus weekend rides through the country. You'll always be in my heart.

                                                            Your loving brother Norm.

Dear Tom, Jim & Family, and Kerry and Brianna, My mom and dad just informed today about your mom-grandmother. I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of Flo. It's been so many years and after the house was sold on Pittsfield, I didn't know where Flo moved to. I didn't know how to get in touch with the girls either. I am living in Ontario,Canada, about 2 and 1/2 hours East of the Soo and have been here for 12 years now. Yes, Flo was a Very Special-Wonderful Lady!! I'll never forget her famous spaghetti dinner she use to fix for Carol and myself. As I looked at the pictures here, I was in tears. Kerry and Brianna...You girls sure have grown. My thoughts and prayers go to you all. I wish I could be there for you. I will enclose my email address as follows:   stardustlv2001@yahoo.com  Yes, she is with her loving husband Wally and her beautiful daughter Carol. You will be truly Missed...Kathy (Bastian)(Wencel)Golden

Thank you Grandma for all the great years!  I have so many memories of seeing you in the kitchen cooking enough food to feed an army.  I will miss your famous macaroni salad.  Thank you so much for raising me and Brianna. 
I love you and miss you so much,
-Kerry

Grandma; You've welcomed me into your family and your heart.  What's more, you raised Brianna, the love of my life and provided happiness to me I could not imagine.  For this, I will be truly grateful for your selflessness and generosity.

Losing you is a hard reality to face, but knowing you are up in heaven doing a polska to "Roll Out the Barrels" with your beloved Walter will make us all smile through the tears.  You will be missed and remembered fondly for generations.

Love,

James

Thank you Aunt Flo for alll the wonderful years. I can still smell the sauerkraut and the kielbasa, and all the wonderful kisses that you always gave. When I ever saw you you gave me great joy.  I truely will miss you .

Love you always 
Tony

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jim and Tom on the loss of Aunt Flo. She was a great, loving and caring lady. She's now with Uncle Wally and Carol in heaven.

My loving grandmother was one of the most beautiful and selfless people to have ever lived.  She was a caring, dedicated, mother to all.  Her presence will be missed more than words can say.  Rest in peace Grandma, until we meet again.

Love, Bri
