Florence Spears

With much love spread and many memories shared, our beloved Florence accept­ed her angel's invitation into the kingdom on Thursday, October 22, 2020 in Tren­ton, New Jersey. As a result, our hearts are less bright but we know the heavens are filled with extra doses of love, joy, peace and laughter.
