Condolence: I will always treasure the times my son Nathanael and I had visiting with Florence and Jacob in their home in Salem, OR in the 1990s. They could not have been more gracious.

Condolence: It dawned on my July 5 after Florence passed that now we are the matriarchs and patriarchs of the family. We will need to remember back at the wisdom and the love of those especially like Florence who have guided us to this time. This is a great responsibility to put our wings around those who are younger and give them warmth and guidance. We will need to call upon that Force which is greater than everything we know for meaningful living. Thank you Florence. We will miss you. You were special above everyone.
