Dorothy,
I'm so sorry about Floyd. I enjoyed visiting with him on the phone while you were coming to the phone. He was always joking about something and saying something sweet about you. My prayers are with your family.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. Mary Lynn Casteel called to let me know. We will not be able to attend the services because Sanford has a medical procedure scheduled for Thursday. We will not be able to attend the visitation Wednesday evening because of the prep for the procedure. If there is anything I can do for you please just let me know.

Mrs. Dorothy,
We're so sorry for your loss! Floyd was a great man and loved my Mom and I as if we were his own "bonus" daughter and "bonus" granddaughter. You two were perfect together. Our memories of the trips to Benton and late night long talks with you and Floyd are something we'll always keep close to our hearts. They were the best times I ever had. One thing Floyd always made certain of was to say "I love you" and he made everyone feel special. I'm praying that God will heal your broken heart and wipe away your tears. We love and miss Floyd more than words can say.
Love you bunches,
Erica Spidahl-Guerra & Becky Spidahl

We are deeply sorry for the loss of Uncle Floyd. I know he will be missed by many loved ones because he loved everyone and was truly a man of God. The thing I will remeber most about him is him wanting everyone to love and associate with their loved ones. Weep not because he is with the lord now and not suffering. Wayne Canada
