Our sincere condolences to all of the family...Susan, Sarah, and James at this time of bereavement. Florence and Eddy were my sponsors at my confirmation and very close to my mom (Vera) and Dad (Bob) Finn going back to the old days of picnics and gatherings of all their close friends. I'm sorry I just heard of her passing, and my wife Arleen and I extend our deepest sympathy.
I remember her well as kind and soft spoken and the matriarch of her family. She traveled far and frequently in her senior years to share her care and concern for all of you. I was fortunate to know her and Ed as a young boy. She is in a better place now. Take comfort in her memory.

Please know how much I love you all. Mom Flo was a sweet woman and I am blessed to have known her and served her Mai-Tais (which she loved). Enjoy happy memories of her, as I surely will.
