My condolences to you Loretta and all of the Bodkin family. When I think of Florence I remember my impressions of her when I was very young. She was very kind to me and I could tell she liked me. She had a big happy laugh and she was so very tall. So sorry for your loss.

To Loretta, Doug and families I remember way back to the late 50's and 60's when our families would share a Sunday dinner once a month from Mitchell's Bay to the countryside of Bothwell. Florence raised geese and we ate a few roasted, so good. Aunt Florence and Uncle Lee were a main stay for Wayne Burke and I as our families were in Texas. God bless, Frances

Heartfelt condolences to all of your family. I always will remember the morning we were getting Florence ready for the day. She broke out in her infectious laugh that we all know. Another staff member popped in to see what was going on only to have them start to laugh as well. She will be missed. It was truly an honour to know her and all of her family. May God’s peace envelop your hearts and minds as you transition through this difficult time.

Loretta, Doug and family, sending a condolence hug. Florence was a huge part of my young years. I don't think a week ever went by that I was not invited at your table to share a meal. We had secret play areas all over your farm and Florence never complained about the extra kid. I treasure all my wonderful memories.
