Please accept my sincere condolences. On your loss of Ms. Florence.
May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:7) May the hope of a resurrection right here on a restored earth bring you comfort. (John 5:28, 29) Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life) Psalm 37:11, 29) But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous will possess the earth, And they will live forever on it.
My deepest sympathy

My sympathy is extended to all with the loss of Florence. I will forever remember all the fun times we had together while growing up. The times in Glendive at the Scott home, the neighborhood that we all roamed, the park down by the river, the river banks, and the laughable times rollerskating on the other side of town. Of course, not forgotten, are all the innumerable times out on the Sharbono farm: where all tried to ride the fastest snow sled downhill the farthest, ride horses, “chase cattle”, play hide and seek, light fireworks, etc. Then too, there were the picnics at rodeos, Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners alternating between the two homes. The list of good times with Florence is endless. We all miss her!

Ron & Mitzi we are sorry to here about Florence. When Mitzi and I Were in Rapid City a couple years ago we took the chance and called Florence and got together with her a couple days . WE did talk about the old days of her coming to the farm and driving in circles until we would come out of the house to say the dogs would not bite her. I am glad we had that time. She will be missed .
