Thats a shame. I knew Florence from Howard's years at the salt. She seemed to be a wonderful lady and Mother.

Howard,

It has been a long time since we have spoken. I recall that it was at Bonneville.

Please accept our condolences for your loss. The loss of a mate is something that our words are just too insignificant to attempt to convey our sadness for your loss.

May your wife rest in peace.

Sincerely,
HB2

Thank you for your remembrance of my faithful wife Florence. Including our dating in High School our relationship spanned 60 years. She was the biggest part of my life for all my adult years.
There are no words to describe how lost I feel right now. I will never forget her but time will help take the pain away.
Cherish your wife and family and all those you love because in less than a heartbeat they can be gone from your life.
I am entering a new chapter in my life now and will have to take it one day at a time.
Thank you,
Howard Nafzger

Howard,
So sorry for your loss. I will always remember how helpful you were in helping us obtain our record. It is good to see you have a plan of one day at a time. I am sure it will be hard for you to adjust but you will carry on.
Take care,
John
