I married into the Nielsen clan through the youngest daughter Norma Jean. I have known Florence and her family for the last thirty-three years. She has been a treasure to me from very early on and I have many fond memories. I've been around the family long enough to remember eating the cinnamon buns of Florence's mother, Pearl. In fact, Norma and I were married on Pearl's 80th birthday. Florence had a hobby of collecting pastors. She had a Vietnamese pastor, and a Cambodian pastor, and a Laotian, and a Chinese pastor. I was the wing-nut pastor from California and I became part of her collection along with her youngest son, Barry. In fact, I always felt that Barry and I had a special little shine with Florence because we were called into pastoral ministry. Florence was expressly hospitable, not only welcoming strangers, aliens, and refugees into her home, but in going to places of need and brokenness to provide care. Many, besides her children, referred to her as "mother." Florence was present in our home many times, especially after our children were born. She loved to create things and to entertain and play with her many grandchildren. Her lake cabin was a long time favorite family getaway. Most of all I remember Florence as a someone with an open Bible. Talk of Scripture and salvation was never far from her conversation, nor were the hymns. Her life and service was always tied to Jesus as was her generosity. She has invested much of her person, her time, and her resources into our family, for which I am deeply grateful.
