My sincerest Sympathy to Florence’s family. She was a good friend of my mother, Willetta Myers Wilcoxon of Cantrall and a member of Pierre Menard Chapter. I too enjoyed knowing her kindness.

Dear Family, I was so sorry to see & hear of Florence passing. I considered her a friend and very nice person. She was responsible for my interest in Colonial Daughters and of course I saw her at DAR meetings from time to time. I have thought of her often and she will be missed by many. My condolences sre for her love ones.

Dear Bob and Shirley and Ellen and all,
I’m so sorry to hear of Florence’s death. She, along with Evelyn, took care of my sister Elizabeth and I when we were little children. It was good that Elizabeth had a chance to visit with Florence before she went into hospice. I’m sorry we lived so far away…
My condolences to you all
