Knowing you made anyone a better person. As long as I can remember you have taken care of others, especially your daughter,Peggy. When everyone advised you to put her in an institution, you Moma’d up and took extra special care of her. You have known more heartbreak in your lifetime than most of us will ever experience! You never let life get you down though. You always had that twinkle I. Your eye and a smile in your heart. You always loved unconditionally. You will truly be missed. Love you Aunt Floy. Pry for the loved ones you left behind.

What an amazing woman you were. You gave so much much to others and i can't describe what it will be like not to hear your voice and see your smile. My tears of sadness is washed away by my tears of joy knowing that you are wrapped in the arms of God. I know you were welcomed home by your loved ones in heaven with great joy. My memories of you will forever be in my heart until i see you again. Love you Aunt Floy, you blessed me more than you know.

My best friend and my Mamaw for 60 years. She was the backbone and the Matriarch of the family. She will be dearly missed.
