Ken & Jim ,  Condolence & I'm so sorry for your loss. It's been a great privilege to have met both of you & especially your mom. From the stories you have shared with me, I knew that she had lived a fulfilling life with both of you by her side. Both of you should be proud of the care & love you have showered her until the end of her life. Peace & blessing to her soul & to both of you. Best regards, Merce (Sojourn Hospice)

May the Memory of Florence be a blessing to her family.  When we moved in next door to Fred and Florence  almost 34 years ago Florence was the first neighbor we met.  Florence always had a kind word to say and always shared her Roses with us. Our deepest sympathies to the Lindsey Family .

The history of Cupertino is the better for Florence having been part of it.  What a treasure trove of stories.  The Traveling Trunk will continue to share the legacy of the General Store with the local children.  Florence remembers her childhood in the little house behind the store so fondly.  Such a warm but capable lady.  My thoughts are with you all.   Sonja Cook

To the Lindsey Family, 
Our deepest sympathy for the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. Florence will certainly be missed. May she rest in peace.

We are so very sorry for your loss.  We will always treasure the good times we had with Florence & Fred at Cherry Chase and their home.  We are still using the fabulous recipes that Florence  gaveus  over the years.

Though I have not seen Florence in 2 years I will never forget her. She was one of my "Melon Court Moms", where I grew up with her sons, Jim and Ken AKA Jimmy and Kenny!After I moved from Melon Ct. I would frequently return home to visit my parents. I would either go over to Florence's home or she would see my car and come over to visit. We would catch up on the block gossip and also talk about what was going on with all the Melon Ct. kids especially, Jimmy and Kenny :).

Florence and her family where a part of this valley's history and she was proud of it.

Ken and Jim and your family, you are in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with the loss of your Mom, Mother-in-law and Grandmother.

To the Lindsey Family: So very sorry for all of you for the loss of your dear Mother and Grandmother.  I only met Florence a few times and could tell how much she loved and cared for you all! You were all so devoted to her and she was blessed to have such a wonderful family. May she rest in peace.  The Plumlee Family

Aunt Florence,   
Thank you for your cheery disposition, the introductions, and for welcoming me into the Dixon-Lindsey family.
Your passion for family and local history and preservation of the past was an inspiration.  We will do our best to honor the family and continue your interests.  
With love.

I have very fond memories of my Aunt and her family.  Their house was the main gathering spot for the Dixon and Lindsey holiday get-togethers ... especially during the 60's and 70's.  Those family times will be greatly missed.  Special appreciation to cousin Ken for his loving care during his mother's time of need.

Jim and Cathy, Melanie and Rus:
My thoughts are always with you.  Florence treated me like a daughter every time I saw her.  I will miss our annual get togethers.
Lisa

I have such wonderful memories of Aunt Florence.  My thoughts and prayers are with eh family.  Love  Sandra Hahamian

Jim and Cathy,
Our sincerest condolences on your mother's passing.  Having such a wonderful devoted family such as yours must have brought her great joy.  May she rest in peace.
Dan and Marilyn Solan

So very sorry to hear about your mother.She was very blessed to have such loving and devoted sons and a daughter in law that cared so much.May she rest in peace.

So sorry for your loss.  May God hold you in his arms for comfort.

I visited with Florence a few times during her visits here in San Diego.  You could tell that her family was the most important thing to her. She was so proud of all of you!  May she rest in peace.
God Bless, 
Ron and Jane Velarde

Florence was my second mom!  She welcomed me into the family with open arms, and I became the daughter she never had.  Florence was totally and extremely dedicated to all in her family.(I would love to have been friends with her in college!)  Love to you, Mom.  I know you are in the Lord's loving arms now...

Ms. Lindsey,
I only met you once but the impact you had on your family is evident. For your loved ones (especially Ken) to provide you with the selfless compassion, comfort and care in your time of need is a true testament and measure of the respect and love of your family. We should all be so lucky.

God Bless--The Pattons

I have such great memories of my Aunt Florence and Uncle Fred. I will always cherish the memories of family gatherings and holidays with the Dixon's and Lindsey's.  You will be missed but never forgotten. Love Amy, Steve, and family.

She must have been a good woman.  She turned out a good son!!

May she rest in peace..........

We shared some good conversations, albeit not many but at least family histories we each tried to trace.  We shared the connections of wives of brothers who had a reasonably close relationships with each other, altho vastly diverse in each of their occupations. As we each age and each one moves on it is good to look back and appreciate the lives we each have lived.  Rest in peace, Florence the race has run. H. Marie Lindsey

Florence will certainly be missed.  I literally grew up with her. I was at the Lindsey household EVERYDAY for years.  I was included in every meal with out asking, a place to watch TV on the couch or a spot on the floor, (Fred always had the recliner), play pool, and shoot hoops till all hours - it was just a great environment to grow up in.  And Florence created that haven.  When they say, "It takes a village to raise a child."  I am certainly grateful to have been in the same "village" with Florence.   She was every part a parent to me as my own parents.  She truly was a giving and wonderful person. Good bye Florence.

Mom, you will be missed.  I will work to capture the influence you had on those around you.  I will work to create a historical record of what you cared about so it won't just be my memory of what you wanted me to know but a resource for those who didn't have the chance to know you.  Peace be with you now and forever. - You Son, with love and respect, James
