Floyd, you will be greatly missed. I have heard nothing but good things about you and how you did so many things for Sheila and were there for her. She has always told me that you were her father figure since she didn’t grow up with her biological father. You were the one who stepped in to be a positive role model in her life when she desperately needed one. I had the privilege of meeting you a few times. Loved hearing about the time you spent in the military during WWII. What an amazing story about how you were wounded to earn your purple heart. Thank you so much for your service. It is men like you, with your character, your good heart, your bravery, your dedication to the people you love, that I look up to and strive to be. Thank you for all that you did while here on Earth. I look forward to seeing you again in Heaven. Until we meet again Mr. Taylor.
