Ms. Maybelle
I am glad I had the opportunity to meet you and Mr. Floyd. Since becoming a part of your family you have always been kind to me. I enjoyed the times when Terrence and I would come over to visit you and we would sit back and laugh and talk. "Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning."

Uncle Floyd, Although my heart is heavy today, I will always cherish the time we spent together talking, laughing and going to car shows. I enjoyed watching you restore cars and giving me pointers on restoring my car. Until we meet again.
Love Always Your Newphew,
