We are so sorry! Florence called me when Scott passed away and then I saw her in Walmart struggling with her knees. So sorry I had not kept in touch. She has been heavy on my mind this week. With our sincere sympathy, Nancy & Roy Kern

Dear Sally and Lana, We were saddened to hear of your mother’s death. We used to enjoy walking with her during “Seniors on the Go” with the Epson Center. We had asked after your mom several times recently at the Senior Center but now one knew where she was. We hope her passing was peaceful and without pain. We considered both Vern and Florence friends and shall miss them. Our heartfelt condolences go our to you and your families. Warmest regards, Jon and Angela Howdeshell
