Ms Romine was a sassy go getter! I will remember her fondly. She was a very sweet lady.
i think everyone will remember ms. romine fondly. she was a local legend, and a definite jewel in this town. i know she will be missed. i spent some time with her, and everytime i was around her, I was always entertained, and so full of happiness. she was quirky, but that was just ms. romine. florence has definitely lost some one special, but i am glad that she gets to go on with her journey and find out what’s waiting. i know she is having fun learning and experiencing something new. rest in piece Elizabeth Ernestine Romine.
