    Dearest Friend Vivian, and Family,
    Loss of a beloved brother can be so
    blinding that you lose sight of all the love that’s
    Within your reach. Allow yourself to be loved and
    cared for at this time of sorrow. Your memories of
    Floyd will guide your smiles.
    Love ,
    Starretha

    Vivian,
    No one could have loved a brother more than you loved and cared for Floyd. You traveled from NC to FL and back so many times you could drive it with your eyes closed. Floyd knew he was loved and he loved you in return. I know you will greatly miss him, but you will see him again one day healed and happy. Let that and the knowledge that you were the best sister ever bring you comfort during this difficult.

    Love you,
    Linda

    Sister Vivian and family,
    You have been the best sister anyone could have asked for. Your love for Floyd was known throughout his home and through the community. May Floyd Rest In Peace knowing his sister loved him more than the universe.. He’s smiling down on you saying sister “ I love you” and “thank you “
    Keeping you in prayer and love.
    Love you,
    Kimberly Barlow- Carreker (god sister)

    Vivian,
    I didn’t know your brother personally. I did know however of the loving bond the two of you had for each other, You were a faithful and compassionate sister from his beginning to the end until God called him home. It is not without sorrow that we get strength as God calls us to be closer to him. Blessings to you always.

    My sincerest condolences to you and your family. Floyd was your first love and your love for him was exemplified throughout his life. Find solace in knowing that you were an “Amazing “ sister who gave Floyd his flowers while he was able to smell them. May God continue to keep you in His care????????. I love you my friend .
