A memorial has been established to support the Saint Nicholas Building Expansion and Alzheimer's Research. Friends and family are invited to wear purple to support the disease.
The daughters would like to thank their dad for his excellent care of their Mom. He has been the most devoted husband, friend, partner, and caretaker any wife could ever ask for. He has set the most beautiful example of what his wedding vows meant to them. We hope we can walk proudly in his footsteps.
Bob and his family would like to thank the Affinity Hospice team, especially Tessa and PennySue, for assisting with caretaking the last several weeks of Florus' life. Florus is now with God and the angels in heaven but the angels here on earth will never be forgotten.
Mom, you were always there for us, in good times and in bad. Whenever we called, you gave us the best advice. Even when you could no longer tell us, we always knew you loved us. You were the greatest mom, love you forever.
