Florence “Anne” Surovik

So sorry to hear of Anne's passing. She and I worked at Bellville Hospital. She was a character with a "surprise" sense of humor. Loved working with her. Will never forget it.

My deepest sympathy at this time. I considered Anne a great friend. We had a lot of fun experiences when I lived in Lakeland. She will never be forgotten.

Dearest Anne, I will so miss our talks on the phone. You are one amazing friend that fought a heroic battle. The summer you spent in Maine was a great memory. It was truly fortunate for me to have a weekly day off with you. What fun times we had, that you always spoke of so fondly. You researched "Camp Kippewa". It was a meaningful time for you and for me. Then later, when you had your family with you, returning to Maine and spending time at the ocean, where we had spent so many of days off, if not all of them. Our families got to visit that week. Great times. We drifted apart as we pursued our careers and raised our families, but I am so happy that we have been keeping in touch for several years. I will miss you, my dear friend. Rest in peace for you have earned that right.

I met Anne through a mutual friend. We enjoyed fun times together -- even a trip to Europe. Anne and I had several phone conversations shortly before she moved from Longview.
She will be remembered with fondness.
