Florine was one of the first ladies to welcome my mother to Brandon Woods. I had the pleasure of dining with her and my mom a few times. Florine was a delight to visit with! And I´m so grateful that she helped make my mom feel so at home in BW.

May your memories and faith comfort you at this sad time.

Oh, my. What a lady and I was so fortunate to know and enjoy her company - chatting and playing bridge. Her cheese crackers were always enjoyed by all the bridge players. Thanks you, God, for joyful people in my life - like Florine.

Dear Cindy,

Your mother was a grand and lovely lady and I see so much of her still shining through you and your children.

In this time of sadness, I hope wonderful memories of the amazing life and love she shared with you will provide some solace.

Her smile is your smile now.

Deepest condolences, Gary Piland
