Nancy and Marcy, I just wanted to convey my deepest sympathies to you for BOTH of your parents. They were always so nice. Your mother always stopped to ask me about my son who was the same age as Isamu (not sure if I spelled that right). She was very proud of you girls and the grand babies. I played volleyball on Sundays with your dad. He always had a smile on his face. I also saw that man walking all over Lincoln! He was in great shape. I loved driving by their house and seeing the little dogs running in the front yard, and all the little decorations in the yard. They were a staple to the Collegeview community, and they will be missed. I’m sorry I couldn’t attend the memorial on Saturday. Hugs to you all <3

To the family and friends of Mrs. Florian always cherish the fond memories of time spent together and although you may grieve the Bible can be a source of comfort. At (Revelation 21:3,4) it speaks of a time when there will be no more sickness or death, also at (Acts 24:15) it speaks of a resurrection that we all can look forward to. May the peace and love of the God of all comfort be with you all. Comfort can be found in our Creator through prayer and through his word the Bible and in Jesus Christ.
