God led me to the Doctor in 1983. I was having marital difficulties. He shared with me his God given wisdom. How blessed I was to be helped by Floyd. My marriage was healed 2 years later. Now my husband is walking with the Lord and was ordained as a Pastor in 1991.
What a blessing Floyd was to many.

My sympathy goes to the Stolzenburg Family

My Dear Friend,
What sadness I have in reading of your passing but what comfort I have knowing you are with our Savior. Our friendship of over 24 years was a life saver for me and I thank God for your being there for me all these years. How special were your Thanksgiving and Christmas letters each of which reminded all who received them of the wonders of our Lord.

When I called you about 2 weeks ago you recognized my name but had my occupation confused with a Bexely School librarian. I knew then that your days on this earth would not be many. I ended our conversation by praising you for the great witness you have been all these years to the love and mercy of our Savior Jesus Christ. You thanked me for my "kind words" and then went on to tell me how good our Lord had been to you through out the years. You then once again went on to extol the riches we have in Christ Jesus.

May eternal rest be granted unto you Dr. Stolzenburg and may perpetual light shine upon you. I know your heart will be filled with praise to Jesus when you hear the words from Him, "Well done thou good and faithful servant".
