I am sad to hear about Fkirene having finished her life journey.
We were classmates at Bergman high school and a welcome recipient of her friendship. Although we had not seen each other for years I often thought of her. She was a wonderful person. My best regards to her family.

I always credit Aunt Florene as being responsible for my being a member of the Church. As a youngster, I would bum rides from her to church until I was old enough to drive myself. She was a wonderful Christian example---and, now, she can rest in peace!
