My wife Nancy and I were saddened to hear of Flo's passing. She was always a joy to be with. We spent many hours with Flo and Joe at club events; they both enjoyed joking and laughing and added much to our experiences.

I am very sorry to hear of Florence's passing. As you are aware, I'm sure, she has been an active member here at Northwest Community Pulmonary Rehab for some time. All of us will miss her, both staff and fellow patients. She always was interested and caring toward everyone and took her disabilties in stride, always willing to work to get better, yet never complaining. She deserves a place in heaven. Please accept my condolences, I will miss her smiling face.
