• Sorry to hear of your loss. Sending our thoughts and prayers from Alder Stevens family (Maja Stevens brother) - Posted by: Sherri Stevens (1st cousin 1x removed) on: Feb 25, 2013

• What a beautiful tribute to Florence. She had grown to be a person that was obviously one who was well loved by all that met her. It is sad to see that her life was shortened, but, her presence will be felt forever by all of you that loved her. I can still see her back in Grade 6 as a beautiful quite little girl and feel blessed that she had grown up to be such a successful and happy person. May God be with the whole family and she will remain in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely, Irene Capka ( Eckhardt) - Posted by: Irene Capka ( Eckhardt] (Grade 6 teacher) on: Feb 24, 2013

• Auntie Florence was always like a bright sunshiny day. She had time and a smile for anyone who was around her. Over this last year I feel like I had the wonderful opportunity to really get to know her as we emailed. She made me smile so often and was always excited to hear more about our lives and what we were doing. When an special occasion was approaching she took time to send me neat recipes or things that she thought we would enjoy. Much like Angie I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to get more then the Aunt that I knew as a child but instead to really come to know that wonderful woman that Auntie Florence was!! Heaven has gained a beautiful woman!!! You will be missed until we meet again. - Posted by: Cindy, Martin Shamus, Aidan & Kate (Nieces & Nephews) on: Feb 23, 2013

• Uncle Bill, I am so sorry for your loss. From the stories I heard from my Dad & Ang, she was an amazing, strong woman. I will always remember the family gatherings and how friendly & sociable she was. She had beautiful soul. Kelly & Melissa, people will tell you that they know how you feel. But I truly do, as I also lost my mom sooner than I ever expected. Although it may not seem like it now, it does get easier to get through the day without crying. Not a day goes by that I don't think about her, but it is only happy memories. I feel her presence and am comforted knowing she is watching over me. Someday you may have kids of your own and you will see a piece of her in them or catch a glimpse of her in their expression. Rest in peace Auntie Florence. - Posted by: Heather Oliver (Niece) on: Feb 23, 2013

• We have never met Melissa's mom Florence but we know that Florence was loved, appriciated and respected in her family and by her friends. Thank you Florence for your wonderful daughter Melissa who has part of you in her heart forever and we know you are watching over her. - Posted by: Ten Spa (Co-workers of Melissa) on: Feb 22, 2013

• My first roommate, I will never forget the first time Bill and Florence met, it was at a Woodlands dance and Bill went up to Florence and asked her to dance. Well the look on Florence was so beautiful. Her face glowed and her beautiful smile and laugh came through. She didn't know what to say, so Bill says, "I'm not asking you to marry me, I'm just asking you to dance with me." And that was the beginning of a new journey for them. The thing with Florence is that I will never miss her because deep down in my heart, mind, and soul I know that she is watching over me and that we will always be roommates, Till we meet again! - Posted by: Marie Lamoureux () on: Feb 21, 2013

• Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Trying to come up with one's life story is a hard task when there is so much to tell and you are allowed so many words and paragraphs to fit so much in. Bill, you couldn't have said it more perfect. In the last couple of years that she and I had been sharing emails I was learning so much about this wonderful person that I grew up knowing as "Auntie Florence". Every email I received from her was always an exciting thing for me to open up and lose myself in her stories of what she was up to or how she was feeling. She had such a great way of combining so many things into one big story, you never wanted the words to end because she painted such a great picture that you felt like you were right there with her. I loved getting to know Florence not just as "Auntie" but as Florence the Woman, Mother, Wife and Sister. We shared a lot of stories between the two of us and had we had more time together I'm sure we could have written a book about all of the daily things going on in our lives. I will truly miss getting her updates and all the great words she would use to describe all the experiences that were going on in her life. She was such a positive person and I felt very connected to her in how she felt about life and all the loving people around her. When I heard of her passing, as sad as the news was I immediately pictured her smiling and the huge crowd of family and friends that were waiting to greet her. I can just imagine the stories that are being shared right now, non stop chatter. The thing that makes me smile the most is the music that I hear and the dance she is having with Granny!! That is the wonderful Woman that I will remember and be so thankful that I could call her my Aunt. - Posted by: Angie and Brad Rintoul (Niece ) on: Feb 20, 2013

• Florence was never to be seen without a bright smile on her face. Always so friendly and loving. I hope you will meet my dear sister, Evelyn and enjoy long walks and chats in the valley. Love you always, Auntie Elsie - Posted by: Elsie Butler (niece) on: Feb 20, 2013
