FOR THOSE WHO KNEW HER

We begin the February Newsletter on a rather sad note. This past month we lost one of our Shrine ladies. While it seems there are those put on this earth to worry their fellow men, cause upheaval and chaos, there are those few that add warmth and understanding.

A small lady with a bit heart, add a great personality, a vibrant smile, charm, humor and a wonderful hostess and you have a lady ten foot tall. What a pity there are not more of these rare persons placed on this good earth to add to our comfort and enjoyment. For those who were friends, we should consider ourselves most fortunate to have known and shared time with her.

Our sorrow goes to Andy Wilkins on the loss of his mate, Florence for some 61 years. Not only will there be a vacant spot in his life, bit in ours as well. A Pit there are not more persons in this world like Florence. What a wonderful world it would be.

Florence married Andy Daniel Wilkins. Andy (son of Daniel Emerson Wilkins and Jessie Boyles) was born ca 1910, Chicago, Cook Co. IL. [Group Sheet]
