I always enjoyed having LoLo over and he so enjoyed good food. How Blessed he was to have Ina to care for him at risk to her own health. He took care of her in her youth and she made sure he was cared for with love and devotion. Rest in peace now Floyd. God Bless you Ina. My thoughts are with you at this time of sorrow.
