I didn't know who to talk to and my husband is fianlly resting. Most of you guys know me on here and you all feel like family. My son was hit by a truck in our driveway by a lady who was turning around. I did not know the lady and I will never forget the moment that I held his lifeless hand as he was laying on the concrete slab. I do ask that none of you do a report on this at Associated Content. My husband and I am going to do one after the funeral so that people will know what he was truly like. I am from Oklahoma City and any of you that want to view the story, you can look my son up by name on the Internet. His name is Gaje Florence and he is six years old. We use to laugh because we had five kids which was enough to start a basketball team and now we are one short. If you would like to help our family out then, you can go to any bank of America and tell them that you want to donate to the Gaje Florence Memorial Fund. Any donations will be appreciated. If you would like to send us a letter through email then you can do it at r.florence84@gmail.com . I appreciate all of your support that you all have given me. I will not be writing for a while but my husband thought that it would be a good idea to let my friends know what happened. You can also look up Channel 4 news for the live coverage of the Interview that my family did. Thank you all and like I said, I won't be writing on here for a while. IF you would all like to see pictures of him or write him a message, you can locate me on myspace.com under my name listed below and leave a comment or message on my profile page. I will have to except you all as a friend before you all can do this so make sure that you ask me to be your friend and then send me a message letting me know who you are. Thank you. I love you.
Rosa Florence

Thank you for adding this. I couldn't remember what the other donation site was and I wrote this out really quick. I wrote the wrong bank down. It is the Bank of Oklahoma. Thank you for everything

Hello Rosa, I send my deepest sympathy. It is crazy how quickly life can change, in an instant your whole future you have planned is gone. In planning your new future always remember that you can honor Gaje by living life to it's fullest. I hope his four siblings are doing well, the loss of a brother is very difficult. I hope you can find peace and strength in this time of sorrow. Always remember the world is full of caring people, sometimes they are just hard to see.

Losing someone is always so hard. It is even worse when that person is a child who has only started his lifes endeavours. I would like to offer my condolences for you and your family. Gaje Florence will never be forgotten, he was your light. To keep this light burning remember him with love, remember all the happy times you had with him. I am deeply sorry to hear about your loss.

I am so very, very, sorry to hear of the loss of another angel here on earth. I Pray that God will grant you and your family all the strength you will need to make it through this trying time. My heart aches for your family but keep his image and his sweetness in your minds eye and in your heart and he will be with you always. Having recently lossed my mom and dad I can only imagine the pain you are feeling but be strong the rest of the family needs you now and Gaje needs you to send happy thoughts to him so he can continue to share in the love and joy of his family til you should meet again. God Bless you and yours.
