Robert and Vonda,

My sympathy to all of you. My mother, Delia (Lasswell) Turner was married to Florene’s brother, Carl and during the time he was alive, I had the opportunity to meet and grow to love Florene. After Carl passed away, Florene continued her friendship with mom and they became close friends.
Florene was a caring, unselfish and loving person and somehow I have to think that she and mom are sitting right now sharing all of the news about their families (which they both were dedicated to). It has been a blessing to be a part of your family, even if for a short while.
God Bless and Keep All of You,
Ken and Beth Bristow
