I will surely miss that beautiful smile and how she & Eddie kissed each other hello & goodbye. That kind of love is such a treasure, she'll always be with you, and remembered with love."
"The first time meeting you again after almost 35 years, back in 1990 between Christmas and New Years. The love you gave me!!! Thank you Aunt Flo, for bringing me back into the family. Love you."

Wonderful person at that as well. Thoughts and prayers for your family through this difficult time and may she rest in peace."
"No party was complete without Florian's delicious sparerib and sauerkraut dish. So many memories of so many gatherings. We love you Auntie Florian. Dave and Julie Theisen"
"I remember Florian as being a jolly, fun loving jokester. She was a part of one (or more) of my motor coach tours to Branson Missouri in the 1990's. What a joy she was to have along. She and her lady friends surely made for a great trip. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of sorrow. May God Bless!"
"One of the most positive and upbeat women I have ever met. Her laughter and smile was so special and warm that when you entered their house you just felt her love and her love of life! My deepest thoughts but I know we all have just wonderful memories of Mrs. T and you are probably smiling now as a funny memory just popped into your mind about Mrs. T. She made a positive impression on us all and what more can one ask in a life. God Bless You Eddy, the Boys and the Family! "
"Eddie and family~ Florian's laughter and kindness was infectious. Your love for each other is inspiring. It is a true gift from above to know you both! Thank you for all the laughs...Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.... xoxo, Beth"
"A great lady! Growing up in our neighborhood I knew I didn't want Mrs. T to hear about any trouble I got in to. She never let me forget about raiding her garden and washing the carrots with their hose. Her fine boys are a tribute to her life. Rest in Peace."
