Dear Pu'u Ohana,
I'm sending my heartfelt condolences on the passing of Florence. She and I worked together for many years in the nursing office at St. Francis. She taught me many things (mostly grace under pressure). She was tiny but mighty and had such a big heart. May your memories of her bring you comfort.
Sue
