Aunt Florrie’ was always a favorite
visitor when we were kids living in
St. Albans,NY. It was always a fun time
when she was there. Then when we were older, the fun continued when we visited her and Roy in Rochester and Greece. She was surely loved by the
‘Smith kids’ and will remain in our hearts
always. With much love and deepest sympathy to our Hamlin cousins and
their families.

I love you, Grandma. I’m sorry that I cannot make it to Rochester. You are in my heart forever and I miss you dearly.
I will miss my Aunt Florence’s poetry. She sent several cards over the years for births etc with a wonderful personal poem. Of course that isn’t the only thing I will remember but it does stand out in my mind.
I’m sorry I missed the service. I have many fond memories of Aunt Flo ‘ all the family picnics, camping trips, holiday parties’¦ Aunt Florence will be missed!
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you Joan and Doug. My thouhts are with you at this time. I will miss seeing Florence coming into the office and hearing her stories of her life and the family. She was a dear, sweet lady and always had a smile and a hug for me. I loved her very much.
she touched many lives as she touched mine.
My loving thoughts and prayers will be with all of my family as ‘Our Nana’ is memorialized. She was so much to so many…but she was our Matriarch. Rest in Peace, Nana.
I love you,
Ellen

So sorry to hear of Florence’s passing. Prayers are with the whole family. Even though our last name is different we certainly have had many, many great family fun times. Sorry we cannot be there now with everybody. Love to all, Gus & Bobbie (the only name Florence knew me as) and Family
Stacey and the Hamilin Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathies on the passing of your beautiful mother. I can still remember being at your home on English Road and seeing your mom and dad while we were in high school. Prayers for you and your family.
To the family, relatives and friends of Florence: Please accept my condolences. My relationship with Florence was a special and unique one.
I was touched by her generosity of spirit and her gentle soul. We were all privileged to have known and spent time with her.
We will miss our very special Aunt Florence. She was one of a kind and a very special aunt. She was my first baby sitter in 1925 and I was honored to ride in the rumble seat of her Ford roadster. We will miss her very much.
