She will always be in my heart and never forgotten. Lesa Clukey first met Flo when she began working at Sears, and found that we had some mutual friends. I will miss the days of going to Sears and kidding around with her. She was always friendly and will be missed deeply. Rest in Peace Flo, Bart Cutler Florence was a great lady who was always willing to do anything for anyone. I worked with her at Sears for many years and got to know what a wonderful person she was. Hopefully, she is smiling down from above with no more pain and knowing that many people miss her. My prayers go out to her family. Jamie Marticello To Florences family: Paul and I a very sorry to hear of Florences passing. She was a very special lady who did some wonderful things for Pauls mother Helen Parrott who lived next door to her. We will keep her in our thoughts and prayers but we are sure God has a very special place for her. Suzanne and Paul Parrott Dear Jim, Barbara, Sylvia and family. Florence was a cherished neighbor of ours on Draper Avenue enjoying many wonderful times with my Mom and Dad when they were alive and she was absolutely great to Mom after Dad passed away. She was as you said in the obituary always putting others before herself. I deeply regret that we didn't get to see her after she became ill - we will have a joint Mass celebrated for her and Mom at St. Charles to commemorate their friendship. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today. Sincerely, Jim and Polly Renckens (Helen and Ray Parrott's daughter and husband.
