King Florence

[King Txec]

Azul,

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this before, but as I'm a curious sort I did some research and found that former King Florence passed away on June 16, 2022. Here is a link to her obituary. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/florence-yarney-obituary?id=35192717

GV shared the sad news earlier this year:

Florence was a giant of Talossan history, serving as king from 1987-1988 when she abdicated in favor of Ben Madison, who was king again until August 2005.

She actually died in 2022, but when I got a death-anniversary reminder for John Eiffler, I thought to see if anyone else had passed away.  The one I could find is Florence, and the photo in the above obituary matches that I remember from seeing her in Ben's Talossan videos at Ben's coronation in 1988.

From that video and from all accounts, she seemed exactly as the obituary says she was: possessed of a keen and flamboyant style of teaching and much-beloved by all who knew her.

RIP, Florence.  I wish all of us in Talossa (including I) could have known you.

Ah yes, I do remember that now. I only wish I'd remembered when I issued the proclamation on Monarchy Day though.

I'm sure Flo didn't care.  :-)
