Dear Shelby, Bonnie, Jerry, and Johnny,

I am thinking about you at this time. I was very saddened to read the obituary that Floyd had passed away. I will always remember Floyd as a mild mannered and soft spoken man. My heart goes out to you. My God bless and comfort you at this time.

Love to all,
