My beautiful Aunt Florence, words cannot express the sadness I feel. You were a huge part of our family and and losing you is heartbreaking. This is so hard to write. I wish it was just a nightmare and that I could wake up from. You are forever loved and thank you for the laughs, teaching me/all of us how to twist and for saving my eye when I was a little girl. Lol. I love you! RIP ❤️💔

I never had the chance to meet you, momma Russell but based on the type of daughter you raised, I know you were an amazing woman. Flo, my deepest condolences to you and your family. I’m here if you need anything at all, if even just a ear or shoulder to cry on. Love you, my friend.
