Florence's deep religious faith was a great inspiration to all who knew her. Her most cherished times were spent with her many friends, her camera, and her beautiful poems - Her outlook upon life is expressed in this poem, (author unknown) one of her favorites from her collection:

We Too Shall Pass Away
How quickly time is passing!
The seasons come and go.
The summer with its sunshine
The winter with its snow
The springtime with its fragrance
Of bursting bud and bloom,
The short cool days of autumn
All seem to pass too soon!
Our neighbours, friends and loved ones
Their ranks are thinning out,
So many we find missing
Each time we look about.
We, too, are rushing onward,
Our days will soon be o'er,
Our places soon be vacant,
Our voices heard no more.
Will any heart be lighter
Because we've journeyed here?
Oh, are we truly trying
To scatter love and cheer?
To make the way seem brighter
To those we meet each day?
For, like the fleeting season,
We, too, shall pass away!
