Ron Ruby Love lit a candle in memory of Florence Eidem
I only got to know Florence well the past two and a half years, but I'm so blessed by the time she spent with me. She beat me at many games of Hand and Foot and loved to tell stories about her family. I loved when she'd draw a good card and one eyebrow would go up. I knew it meant she was going to win that hand, but she was so happy about it I couldn't help but be happy for her.
When I think of Florence I will remember first and foremost how much she loved her Savior and Lord! She was a woman of STRONG faith and it showed in her sweet, sweet smiles and personality. She was so faithful to lift up anyone in prayer who was hurting or going through rough times to our Lord. I will be forever grateful for all of the many, many times she prayed for me and my family and friends during struggles. Florence told me many years ago to never give up praying for my husband's salvation and after 20 years of praying for that, he is now with his Savior too. I look forward to the day when we will meet again for all eternity! God has blessed my dear sweet friend Florence mightily!
What stands out in my memory of Florence was her concern for others and a deep gratitude for God's blessings in her life -- despite pain and losses.
