We were very sad to hear of Aunt Florence's passing. Think a big reunion of the the Throop Street gang going on now. What memories we have of living next door. Know you are in our thought and prayers.

Dear Barb & Bob,
I echo the sentiments of my brother Barney and your cousin Jack. We were all blessed to have grown up in such a wonderful neighborhood with wonderful
parents and neighbors. Your parents always had an "Open Door Policy" for all of us kids. God Bless You Florence and George. Thanks for the memories.

Dear Bob & Barb,

I just wanted to remind you both that you and your mother are in the thoughts and prayers of the Hogan family. Your mother had a great heart and made all of us feel like we were at "Home" whenever we walked through your door.

The passing of your mother draws nearer the end of really the greatest generation.

To the entire family;
I am very saddened to hear about your loss. Please know that all of my thoughts and prayers go out to each and every one of you. She was a dear sweet lady that I had the priviledge of knowing. My love and comfort to you all.

Dear Barb & Bob,
Saying I am "sorry for your loss" just does not working for me. You both know I think of you as my Sister & Brother. And "Aunt Flo" was my second Mom. We grew up together like five kids with four parents - what a blessing.
Dear Flo was a blessing to so many and I can still see that warm and loving smile in my mind when ever I think of her. I will see that smile, along with Josie and Joe and George, and remember them all, now together again. And we can be comforted knowing they will always with us, as God's gift we will never forget.
I am sorry I cannot travel back to Indiana to be with you for the memorial, but I will be with you in spirit. In her Memory I will donate to both Saint Thomas School and make my annual contribution to Bridge Disability Ministries in her name.
