Sincere condolences to the Charlton clan, Murt, Myrna, Earl, Alan, and Ken and families, on the loss of Florence. I am the middle daughter of Marg and Norm Cornish, and remember hearing many good things about "Babs" when I was little, then "Florence" later on. I remember visiting her mom, Aunt Mabel, in NW Calgary when I was a child with our whole family, and she was a kind and gentle person with interesting toys, a nice garden, and a park across the street. My thoughts are with you at this time. Kathy, Hans, Shea, and Joel Gerritsen gerrit@telusplanet.net

Dear Charlton Family....We just read the Announcement telling us of the sad news of Florence's death, and Marj and I want to express our deepest sympathy and condolences to you all.
Although no words can take away the sorrow, hopefully time will lessen your pain. May the memories you have of your dear Wife, Mother, Grandmother and even Great Grandmother, and those special times you all shared together, be of comfort and consolation to you now and in the days ahead.
Although we have not seen Florence for quite some time, I especially remember her back in the days from the Fall of 1960 to 1962 (having just moved from Regina to Calgary) when I rented the adjacent suite in your home at 628 - 11th Avenue, N.E. and boarded with your family. This was at the time when Myrna and Earl were young teenagers, and Alan was just born. You welcomed me into your home, and I always remember Florence as being a very happy positive personality, family oriented, a wonderful cook and homemaker, and great supportive role model to you children.
We share your sadness, and our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time. May God grant you His peace.
Sincerely, Cliff and Marj Fiesel
