My dad was a long time & very good friend of Jake's. We got to know Florence when he married her, later in his life, after being a bachelor for many years. He was a different & happier man after he married her. She brought Jake much joy. I remember them coming to play whist, laughing & having a good time, with my folks. She was quiet, but a very sweet-spirited lady. In later years, I enjoyed seeing & visiting with her, periodically, when I'd visit my mom when she lived at the Heritage Centre, too.<br><br>She was a beautiful person & I'm sure made a huge impact on your lives. If my dad were alive, or if my mom were able to remember & communicate, they'd have many things to share about times spent with them. My folks bought some of Jake's old furniture for us, as a wedding gift, when we were first married. Many good memories shared between our family & Jake & Florence. <br><br>Florence lived a long & good life. My condolences to her family. Prayers for comfort & peace.
