So sorry to hear about the loss of Floyd. He was always quick with a smile and kind to me. What an amazing blessing to have had him here for 90 years. I know he will be missed.

Can't help but smile when I remember Uncle Floyd! So many great memories of when your family would come to our house or I would come stay at yours. Best memories are when he used to stay with us and go deer hunting with Bugs, Uncle Carl and the rest of the guys. Don't know how they ever got any deer because they would stay up so late planning their strategies for the next day. And oh the laughter!
If you listen close, you can hear it coming from heaven right now! God Bless You All and may the good memories bring you peace!
All our love, Sheila and Verlyn
Dear Marilyn and family,
Just read the obituary for Floyd. We are of the age when we move on...... Perhaps, you read the obituary for Norma Josslyn.
I will send this notice on to Lorraine Berg in Hoyt Lakes and possibly Larry Cowles in Tennessee.
I remember seeing you years ago at the Festival of Trees in Rochester.
May God in his mercy remind you of the Good times and may these memories help sustain you through your sorrow.
MY DEEPEST SYMPATHY,
Bev Spriestersbach,
Class of 1944, Pine Island, Minnesota
