Only two sisters and one brother of the once large family survive: Mrs. Tom Caywood, and Mrs. Jane Collard of Bryan and Monroe Martin of Batesville, Texas.

To the bereaved family, and other relatives, sincere and heartfelt sympathy is extended in this sad hour of sorrow, because of the tragic death of mother, and grandmother, whose long life has been such a benediction to them, and whose sudden death brings them such untold grief.

The printed poem, "Your Face Speaks" was written by Mark Mercer who dedicated it to Florine for her spirit and kindheartedness in thinking of helping others after Bill died. She lived a life that anyone would be proud of and that her family looked up to. You don't have to tell How you live each day You don't have to say If you work or you play A tried true barometer Serves in its place However you live it Will show in your face. The false, the deceit That you bear in your heart Will not stay inside Where it first got its start For sinew and blood Are a thin veil of lace What you bear in your heart You wear in your face. If you life is unselfish If for others you live For not what you get But how much you can give If you live close to God In His infinite grace You don't have to show it, It shows in your face. Thank you for being there for us so many times. What would our family be without you and all of the West Kentucky members that have shown what being a Christian is all about. Thank you to West Side Church of Christ members where Florine worshipped and loved so many of her brothers and sisters in Christ. Thank you to Holy Trinity Episcopal Church members, St. Paul's Angelican Church, and First Baptist Church for keeping the faith with our family. Arrangements are under the direction of Ellis Funeral Home. (Published in The Midland Reporter-Telegram from June 9 to June 10, 2009) | Hamlin, Flora Arine (I11218)
