It has been an honor to work with Floyd at McEwen Funeral Home of Monroe. He was no doubt a amazing person. He has finished the race, he had fought a good fight, and he kept the faith. I will see you one day again, for I will meet you at the Eastern Gate.

Will never forget Mr. Floyd's dedication to parking cars and ringing the church bell at Antioch and also his love for his country. Very special man and he also had a very special wife. They made a mark on my life that will not be erased. Love and prayers for the family.
