My condolences on the loss of your father, Steve. May he rest in the arms of our Lord till we join him.
Although I did not know Floyd well, he meant a great deal to my dad. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Annie & Max
Mr. Floyd had been our daddy’s companion at meals at Silver Oaks. It was always a joy to visit with him. He was so proud of his family and a great one to talk weather and dogs with. We believe he is enjoying a joyful reunion with many loved ones including his more recent buddy, Ed. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time.
We offer our sincerest sympathy to your family on the passing of your father. Cherish your memories and take comfort in the knowledge that your dad rests in his heavenly home.
