I m so sorry for your loss. The Bible gives us a hope of a resurrection, this is a provision from Jehovah God showing his undeserved kindness. In God's new world, "No resident will say: I m sick and pain will be no more---Isaiah 33:24; Revelation 21:1-4.

Ray, Donald, Albert, Dave, and to all the Carey and Friberg family members:
We were saddened to hear about our cousin (and niece) Floris. Please accept our sympathy. We heard about her passing from her brother, Bill. Floris, Bill, Bob and Dick meant very much to our mother, Elizabeth, who the Friberg cousins always called Aunt Beda (her given first name).
Aunt Beda, 97, recalled today that Floris and her brother, Bob, were the flower girl and ring bearer at her sister Edith's wedding in 1939. (Aunt Beda was the maid of honor.) We always enjoyed hearing Bill talk about Floris and her family through the years. God bless all of you.
Sincerely,
The Chicago-area cousins on the Friberg side of your family:
Jay, Paul, Ralph and Judy (Alonzi) Greenslade and Elizabeth (aka Aunt Beda)

When we moved back to Michigan we got a chance to see Flo and Ray a lot. Then my health got worse, so we decided to go back to Arizona to reside in a warmer climate again. We miss them a lot. She always loved her nursing career and was very good at it. We also enjoyed seeing her sons and their wives (& friend).
