So sorry to heard of your Mom's passing. Our Mom {Jo Kuntz} was a friend of your parents. When they would winter in Mesa we would go visit them. One of our favorite place was the Organ Stop Pizza. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Dear Bob,
Sending my sympathy to you and your family on your mom's passing! Such a wonderful life and touched by so many.
She was my very first babysitter and I still remember time with her. Since neither of my parents were of Scandinavian descent, I attribute my use, to this day, of the phrase, "uff da" to Florence!
RIP, sweet Florence!!!!

Bob & family: Am sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She lived a long life. I remember you and your Dad & Mom
living across 14th Ave from my Aunt & Uncle (Inez & Cal Smith). Seems like only yesterday - time marches on. It
is always hard to lose your Mom but hope all of the wonderful memories you cherish will give you peace in the days
ahead. With Sympathy, Cindy Packard
Florence was a kind and caring person. We'll cherish memories of all the fun we had together. We are so grateful that we got to be part of her life. We will miss her very much. We love you, Florence.
From Tyson, Makiko and Cade Hultz
Florence and Milo were such a loving cute couple to watch and learn from. Now they are reunited again. They can be neighbors with my parents Morris and Louise and aunts Hazel and Alta.
