Condolences
Florence and Ivan were wonderful neighbours. Mom appreciated having someone “just down the road”. What a wonderful friend and amazing bread baker.
Del and Joan, we are thinking of you at this difficult and sad time.
Dalyce and family: May you find comfort in the many memories you have. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Florence was a great friend and neighbor to Mom, I remember her as a 4-H leader and in later years doing homecare for her and learning to can fruit with her.
Our sincere sympathy to you all. I fondly remember Florence and Ivan selling truck loads of fruit and sharing a quick visit.
Our condolences to the Foulston family. Florence was a great lady. So nice you got together for her 90th birthday.
Our sympathies to the family… We have many memories of Aunt Florence through the years in Tugaske. I think of her every time I use my Bosch bread-machine – which I bought from her. I remember her write-ups in the Craik paper, and her interest in everyone in the community.
