Floyd was a delight. He and Janet, together, added so much joy and pleasure to our lives.
We feel cheated, but God is in charge and he had his own plans. We are grateful that we had his company for as long as we did. In the words of the song "we'll have these moments to remember".
Floyd, we miss you and love you.

Never got to know Floyd real well during the short time I knew him. I square danced with him at Single Squares several times. He was a very nice person to be around. After visiting with him in the nursing home a few days before his death I could see how upbeat he was.
He was a great example for us all.

We are very sorry for your loss. We met Floyd through square dancing with the Overalls in Orangevale. We could tell he loved square dancing. I remember when he and Janet became engaged. They were so happy together. When we all found out about Floyd's illness, we were very saddened. After he had his surgery and we learned that it wasn't possible for the doctors to remove all of Floyd's brain tumor, we all felt badly. Floyd had many people praying for him that God would heal him. Floyd trusted God and I could see he wanted to "live life to it's best", as long as God would allow. He was very upbeat and held a good attitude that God would be with him through it all. He knew we all were praying that he could be healed. He told me he trusted God and would look to him for healing and comfort in pain. When he made that statement, I knew he had a faith and a belief in God that would help him go through the struggles he'd be facing with his cancer.
After his surgery, Floyd came to our club to dance and be with his friends. He was not a complainer! He had faith in God and a relationship with Him that was evident to many of us. He had learned what many of us have learned, that life is precious and our life is in God's hands. He told me he had Jesus to comfort him through this "storm". He was always so encouraging with his strong faith in God. I told him "you would be a good pastor" because he had such good attitudes and showed a strong faith in God!
The "trials of life" come to us all, and Floyd went to God to help him through them. What a testimony he carried of someone who loved God! I, myself, know that God wants to be our friend and comforter throughout life and the Bible is full of many promises that help bring us comfort and answers to life's problems. May we all have a faith in God,like Floyd. May God be with you and comfort you as you adjust to your loss. Love, Ernie and Linda Ellis, Folsom, CA.
