 GERZON, FLORENCE C. (CALOMINO) age 74, passed into Eternal Life on April 14, 2014. Florence was preceded by her loving husband James L. Gerzon, son Ray, parents Fred and Bella Calomino, and brother Junior. She is survived by her son James; daughter Connie; son Fred (Margaret); daughter Michelle; and brothers Frank and Joseph (Donna). "Nanny" is survived by her grandchildren Dan (Kristy), Glen, Jamilee, Morgan, Amanda, and Nick; and great-grandchildren Leah and Matthew. Florence lived her life with grace and courage through 45 years of Multiple Sclerosis. She not only survived, she also lived fully. She handled every person and situation she met with her strength, her positive outlook, and most importantly her faith. Her husband James devoted himself to her care and she truly flourished. Florence and James welcomed people into their home with compassion and an eagerness to share their enthusiasm for life. Florence enjoyed cooking superb meals and she believed food was a vital pleasure to be savored with others. Shortly before she passed she said "I love you" and she said "goodnight." We are grateful for her peace now in eternal rest and we will find strength in remembering her absolute love for us. Florence will continue to live through the memories of others. Visitation will be held on Thursday evening from 6:00 to 9:00 at Gabaldon Mortuary, 1000 Old Coors Drive SW. Final services to be held in Chicago.
