‘I am so sorry for your loss. Mr. Floyd is happy now being together once again with his sweetheart, Mrs. Floyd. I always enjoyed spending time with them. We had many pleasant conversations. Mrs. Floyd would always ask me to move their lazy boys to vacuum because “he” was so messy!!! One time, when she was out of the room, I placed a handful of Mr. Floyd’s delicious “party mix” under Mrs. Floyd’s chair. Once she returned, I moved her chair as she had asked. She was so flustered……”all that was under my chair”? Mr. Floyd and I could not hold back our laughs. She finally gave us that little smile and responded….”WELLLLLLL, I knew something was up”. They were always a pleasure and are certainly missed. A delightful couple to be with…..God be with them both, Mr. “D”.’
