So, so shocked and sad to hear of Florence’s passing. Ever remembered as a wonderful person. As my mother Winnie said many times, “my son she’s something else, I’m telling you! I’ve always said if there was any sense in this world, she would have had a crown. She had a heart of gold!” I will add that she had that rare gift of being instantly loving and lovable. She didn’t get the crown but an angel on earth now has her wings. Amen. Rest in peace Florence.

What sad news (and shock) to hear of Florence’s passing. She was a beautful person. She was so many things; kind, loving, generous, thoughtful, understanding, hard worker and so much more. She touched so many lives in a positive way. I am so happy to have had her in my life. She was a special person to everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with all the family. Especially Paulette, Wade, Barry and Brent. Love you Florence, you will be forever remembered and forever missed.

I was very sad to hear of Florence’s passing. I have been in touch with her over the years. She always had a story to tell. It helped me to stay connected to my home town. Growing up, Florence was always around. We lived across the road from her and her family. She was quietly generous and was around to help when my Mom and Dad passed away.
I send my heartfelt sympathy to Paulette, Wade, Barry and Brent, to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and all her famil y and friends who loved her. May all your special memories help you through this time of loss. Thinking of you and sending comfort..
Florence, you will be missed by everyone whose heart you touched.

My special aunt, my “other mom”. You were my friend, confidant, a calm during troubling times, and a constant of unconditional love. You were there for me since I was born, treating me as your own. You gave me love and support when mom and dad were ill and after they passed. You were my mom’s best friend. Childhood memories of staying with you during mom’s illness, family times, visits to “nan & pop Norris’s”, and those many trips “over the hill” with my little suitcase, are those I hold dear in my heart. I will miss our visits and chats so very much. Words cannot express how thankful and fortunate I am to have had you in my life. Heaven has gained a very special angel.

Love forever and always,

Gayle

I cannot even think what Swift Current will be like without Florence. She has been there for me in my many times of need. This is the time of the year when I would be sending her a Christmas card with an enclosed donation for the Christmas bulb lighting in memory of loved ones. Florence was an amazing lady.. Her hands were never idle. She was such a good friend to my parents when they resettled to Swift Current. They sang her praises.always. My heartfelt condolences to Paulette, Wade., Barry, Brent and families. Fly high wit the angel my dear friend.
