Prayers for you dear family of Florence. Remember Sharing in friendship with Florence each Saturday while as a volunteer pastoral volunteer at St. Joseph’s manor. Remember sharing with Florence about her work and her strong faith. Florence is surely celebrating in Heaven. Prayed for her often and missed sharing since the Covid restrictions have prevented volunteer visiting for some time.

I hope those memories made will bring you comfort as you say your final farewell. – Ron and Leslee
