My sympathies to all of your family. Heaven gained some special people last week. Daddy passed away on Monday. He always asked if I had heard anything about how Floyd was doing. All of us always enjoyed time with Floyd and Polly, joking, singing, and, of course, eating. Floyd was a special guy, always with a smile and something funny to say. Fond memories always. Prayers for peace.
