Today we laid to rest my beloved and dear Grandma of 92 glorious years.
I will forever cherish the wonderful memories we shared, from me taking you to get your hair done to the countless piano lessons you gave me! I will truly miss you Grandma, please give Grandpa a huge hug for me!
I love you and may you rest in peace playing Heaven's organ!
As a young, 6 year old girl, I took piano lessons from Floreine for 7 years. I was so inspired by her talent, her patience and her beauty. She had the ability to instill confidence and joy through her love of music. I am 71 years old now. I continue to play piano and occasionally run through old sheet music with Floreines notes attached. My 9 year old granddaughter and I are playing duets together now and it brings back many memories of her beautiful smile and the joy of music she shared with so many. May she Rest In Peace.

MOM,
Please give Dad a BIG HUG for me. I'm sorry I was away when you slipped peacefully to Heaven. One of your grandchildren held your hand. Thank you for your donation of the Lowery organ to our Parish. We will share your tapes of your music.
Thank you for instilling into us the LOVE of Music. I should have practiced and learned how to play the piano. In lieu of that, you nurtured my Voice, I hope for many years to honor you with Praise & Hymns at our Parish.
92 YEARS............ what a Grand achievement, with all the Ancestry Iv'e worked on, you are in the top 5 % of Life longevity.
Please work with Our Lord's Spirit to find a Cure and an end to Alzheimers and Dementia. This cruel disease took your mind and wisdom from all of us.
In Closing, thanks for the endless hours of sitting on the couch, when I was a teenager, staring down at the street light, waiting for my headlights to come into the neighborhood, making sure I got home safely.
May this LIGHT from this candle shine for eternity, as you watch over, with Dad, the many Lives you & God created.
I LOVE you
I MISS you,
Your forever loving and dedicated son
Gregg Patrick
