Florence touched each one of these lives with overwhelming love and laughter!
Our mother would want us to say a very special thank you to John & Rachel Kerfien for their amazing care and unconditional love bestowed upon her the last few years allowing her to remain at home. With the love & support they showed her, our family was given the gift of being able to spend more time with her. She loved shopping and spending time with her “best friend” Rachel, whom she loved very much. We also want to thank Jason & Jamie Reed for taking her in their home while she was recuperating. She enjoyed her time with them and their daily driving Miss Daisy (Florence) rides to her favorite Burger King lunches and countryside adventures.
Thank you Willie, her “wingman” for the last three years, and Diane Emeterio for taking her on her Friday lunch dates, she loved you dearly.
Florence will be missed dearly by all family and friends. She has touched many hearts.
Per her wishes there will be a Celebration of Life that will be held at the family’s convenience at a later date.
Foster Funeral Home, Fulton, has care of arrangements.
