Florence was my mom’s best friend at Gibson’s Discount and after she retired. Florence was there when my sister and I lost our mother, and she made contact with my dad to make sure he was doing okay in the years that followed.
My thoughts are with you. I knew Richard in school.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful mom with us.
