Family and Friends,
We lost one of the best the other day.Floyd's spirit was infectious. His smile will be with us forever. His humor, like no other. His devotion, strong as they make them.My life has been better by knowing and having him as a friend and a buddy. May Renee and the boys find strength when they need it the most and be resolved that our man rode it out to the end. My heart is broken like yours'.

I can't remember Floyd not smiling as he encouraged everyone- he was a faithful member of our ministry team. I enjoyed his guitar playing when he'd sing the song- My God Has Broad Shoulders.
