Dear Mrs. Sissie & Sheree:
My thoughts and prayers are with you now. I respected Mr. Floyd so much. He was a fine Christian man and a great role model. We shared lots of memories at the lake each summer. I always enjoyed being his "cameraman" at the lake for his hang gliding escapades!! LOL -- I thank God for our family's friendships over the years. I'm always here if you need anything.
Love,
Gregg
