Dear Debbye, Tommy and family,
Many years and miles kept us apart but phone calls to Aunt Florence kept us close.
She was our last connection to our Father Bernie. Florence was always uplifting and funny. She made my day when I spoke to her by phone. She was always a HOOT!
Through all the adversities she had been through, she always kept a positive attitude about family and what life handed her.
She spoke highly of all her family and was very proud of all of her kids and grandchildren. She truly loved everyone of you so very much. You were the best part of her life!
On behalf of my sister Nancy (Hester), my brother Greg Lachowsky and our families please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
I will miss those phone calls!

So sorry for the family's loss. Death is a horrible enemy. I hope that you find comfort in the promise of a resurrection found at John 5:28,29. Please read that scripture in your bible. Please continue to rely upon Jehovah in prayer during your difficult time.
Miss Florence was a great woman and she will be missed by many. I loved going to visit with her and Frank when I lived in Greenbrier. My sympathy goes out to all of her family.
Scotty so sorry to hear of the passing of your Grandma we are praying that the Lord will surround you with His peace encourage you in His love and strengthen you with His presence
