To the Theisen Family: I only met Florian a few times but what a lovely lady. My sympathy goes out to Carl, Mary Jo and family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time. Aunt Florian will always have a special place in our hearts. May all of the fond memories fill your mind, warm your heart and lead you through. Know that we love you and are thinking of you. We will miss you, Aunt Florian, and we love you.
Even when facing her hardest times, Florian always had a smile that brightened the room. She loved keeping us updated on her wonderful family & was so proud of you. I will surely miss that beautiful smile and how she & Eddie kissed each other hello & goodbye. That kind of love is such a treasure, she'll always be with you, and remembered with love.
The first time meeting you again after almost 35 years, back in 1990 between Christmas and New Years. The love you gave me!!! Thank you Aunt Flo, for bringing me back into the family. Love you.
Auntie Florian and Uncle Eddie with Loretta and Tom, August 2013
Dear Aunt Florian,
Your charm, your unmistakable laugh, and the way you shared your love for others will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew you. You had a special way of calling everyone 'honey' and it had such a loving ring to it.
I will always remember your beautiful smile and so much more. You will be truly missed... forever cherished...never forgotten. May God bless you.
My condolences to the family of Florence. My parents where friends of Florence and Ed. I have also gotten the pleasure of getting to know Pete from working with him at CoVantage CU. Wonderful person at that as well. Thoughts and prayers for your family through this difficult time and may she rest in peace.
No family gathering was complete without Florian's delicious sparerib and sauerkraut dish. So many memories of so many gatherings. We will miss you so much.

I remember Florian as being a jolly, fun loving jokester. She was a part of one (or more) of my motor coach tours to Branson Missouri in the 1990's. What a joy she was to have along. She and her lady friends surely made for a great trip. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this time of sorrow. May God Bless!
Florian will always hold a place in our hearts, her smile and love was contagious, always fun to be around and as a card partner she was a player to be reckoned with! Florian as you have entered into heaven you shall posses a joy and peace that is unattainable on God's earthly realm, and we are rejoicing in the fact that loved ones who have gone before you have escorted you to see God first hand! Hallelujah! missed but not ever forgotten!
One of the most positive and upbeat women I have ever met. Her laughter and smile was so special and warm that when you entered their house you just felt her love and her love of life! My deepest thoughts but I know we all have just wonderful memories of Mrs. T and you are probably smiling now as a funny memory just popped into your mind about Mrs. T. She made a positive impression on us all and what more can one ask in a life. God Bless You Eddy, the Boys and the Family!
Eddie and family~ Florian's laughter and kindness was infectious. Your love for each other is inspiring. It is a true gift from above to know you both! Thank you for all the laughs...Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you....
xoxo, Beth
A great lady! Growing up in our neighborhood I knew I didn't want Mrs. T to hear about any trouble I got in to. She never let me forget about raiding her garden and washing the carrots with their hose. Her fine boys are a tribute to her life. Rest in Peace.
Our love to all of you during this time of loss and life. We are holding all of you near our hearts and in our thoughts and prayers. Aunt Florian you will always hold a special place in our memories. With love! - Rick & Shelley
Dearest Pete, Sue and Girls
We are so sorry to hear about your Mom's passing please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
