It’s been many years since I was in the company of my Auntie Florrie, at Mount St, Reading, England. I have fond memories of her as a delightful, bright, and beautiful lady. I’m sure she will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Please accept the condolances of the Douglas family in Dunedin, New Zealand. Our thoughts are with Uncle Tony and family on this sad occassion. Kind regards Leslie, Maureen, Kim and Peter.

Our condolences on this sad occasion. My mom passed away last summer age 81 and it takes awhile to overcome this loss of a loved one.
My visits with Aunt Flo were brief over the years. When I was there, I could see in Aunt Flo what I would have imagined my mother to be, a very kind and loving person. She will be sadly missed by our family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Uncle Tony and your family. Please accept our condolences, with much love Nephew Russell & Helena, Daughters Jolene & Lana

Dear Tony and family;
I am so sorry to hear of Flo’s passing. I always think of her on my daughter Charlotte’s birthday as they have the same one and one of her names is Florence, named for Flo.
She was a wonderful woman, wife and a devoted mother who loved her family very much.

Uncle Tony,
My heart cries for your loss. I cry for my loss. Aunt Flo will always be in our hearts, and will be with us forever. Please take some solace in my belief that she now stands tall, has no need for medication, she is as beautiful as ever and she is watching us all now.
Uncle Tony, please take care of yourself as well as you took care of her.
I am sorry that I wasn
