"My sympathy and prayers to the family, shock to hear of Florences passing. Have known her since grade school, 4th grade Howard Kennedy Mrs. Person class. We went to St Mark Church as kids and North High, I'm not surprise she was so admired and accomplished. When I would come to Omaha for visits, we would see other at church, and we would always laugh and joke each other. Such a Beautiful Spirit RIH Ms. Florence "
