You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. She will be missed by all and yet---she is now lucky enough to be sitting at His right hand where there is no more pain, sorrow, or suffering!

Dear Family, I'm so very sorry about Florence's passing. I am the daughter of Ernest Brackin son of Henry Brackin. Florence and I were both born on the same day. Iti is a beautiful picture of her and very much family resemblance. My sympathy to all of you.

Roger and Debbie, So sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I hope this poem brings you some peace as it has for me many times.
I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me now I’m free
I’ve followed the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day
to laugh, to love; to work or play
Work left undone must stay that way.
I found God’s peace at the close of the day.
If my parting has left a void
Please fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss
Are things that will be missed.
Do not be burdened with grief and sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life’s been full; I savored much
Good friends, good times, and a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my timed seemed all to brief.
Don’t be weighed down with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and rejoice with me
God wanted me now…He set me free.
