Cheryl,Kim and Kids,
I know this hurts but he is whole again. He has no more pain. He fought until the very end. I have never heard of a man who was as strong as he was you all should take great pride in that. He would want you all to be strong and happy and be there for each other. You all be safe driving back home and I will see you soon.

Floyd,

The first time I met you, you were sitting on your couch. I turned and looked at Todd because I was so nervous to finally meet his amazing grandpa. Todd loves you so much with all his heart and so much more. Everytime he sees you his face fills with joy like a little kid when they first learn to ride a bike. Thank you so much for meeting me and accepting me. You are and will always be an amazing man with a big heart. Always,
