As a friend of the family for many years, I would like to send prayers for comfort and peace. I know how dedicated Floydie was to the well-being of others. Even in great pain she attended the home-going of my Mom. Few people would make such a sacrifice. May she rest in peace in the arms of our Savior. She is truly in a better place.

It was such a joy to know Floydie. The trials she went through day after day, would have exhausted most of us, but she always tried to be her best. She was a kind, and gentle woman. I feel very lucky to have had her in my life. My condolences to all of you, her family and friends. Peace and prayers.
