Dear Cousins,
Please accept our deepest sympathy in the loss of your dear Mother, and Grandmother. We will always fondly remember Aunt Florence as a warm, welcoming, generous and kind Aunt. Larry and I were among those that enjoyed delicious cookies or cake or freshly baked banana bread, etc around the kitchen table. She always made us feel welcome. She was a blessing to every life she touched, and we were blessed to be able to call her Aunt. Hugs, Alice and Larry
Mary - I have had no way to get in touch with you over the years when I come home to visit. My condolences to you and your family. I hope you are well. I can always be reached through my sister (Barb Bekins) if you would like to get back in touch.
Sent with love
Bonnie (Purcell) Bramer
Many memories will be revisited for many years, this is life. With my deepest symphony and prayers four you family at this time and the time to come when you miss her most and wish you be with her one more time.

Our prayers and deepest sympathy are with you all at this difficult time.
Evelyn, our donation to the American Heart Association should come to your home.
Our plans were to attend the funeral and visit in person, but we had car problems this Monday, and can only get as far as we can walk for a couple days.
Our thoughts are with you, remembering many wonderful memories. God Bless.

Dear Family of Aunt Florence,
We were so sorry to learn of the passing of your mother and grandmother. Aunt Florence was a truly lovely person.
I have so many fond memories of time spent at your home while we were growing up. I always loved talking to my Aunt Florence while she made polichinkas and other delicious traditional foods. She was such a busy lady, but somehow managed to find a few moments to share a story or just say a kind word.
You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Pat and Bill Fritz
Dear Family of Florence,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother! Our thoughts and prayers are with you and with her friends.
My dad, Joseph Bakale, was an older brother to George Bakale (my Uncle George). It was always fun when the families got together.
Love,
Jeanne Bakale and Roger Dye
We were just notified by Bob Kelava of your mother's passing. Please accept our sincere sympathy. Florence was one of the sweetest and kindest ladies I ever knew. I'll always remember going with my mom to your mom's house and visiting. She always had something good for us to eat with our coffee. She was such a good friend to my mom for many years--when they were single and did housework together and then with their sewing club after they were married. Those are some of the good memories I often think of. May your memories bring you comfort. Love, Bev and Sid Kuizema, North Fort Myers, FL
