Love you Magdalene
Dear Sweet Meg. Just know you are in my prayers. I love you and Floyd so much. He was so much like my Dad. I loved talking to him because he always made me feel like I was talking to Dad. He was such a precious man and I am going to miss him. I find peace in knowing he's with Dad now and they are having the best time in Heaven. Just know I Love you so much and will continue to pray in these next few days.
Magdelene, I am sorry to hear about Floyd's passing. You were the first neighbor to visit me when we lived across the road from ya'll. It was always good to see you and Floyd, and I know you will miss him. With love and sympathy, Guinn Huffman
To Magdalene and your family members - I send you my condolences for the loss of Floyd. I worked with Floyd at Broughton Hospital. We worked in an area called Division P. During baseball season Floyd played an outfield position on one of the teams. To prepare himself for the position I would see him lift a heavy lounge chair over his head and move it up and down 2 or 3 times. When playing in a game he would catch fly balls with one hand. He was probably in his late forties or early fifties. He had a very good sense of humor which would help you and others when working with patients who had difficult behaviors. I was fortunate to have worked with Floyd Lane. May his wife and family find peace as they deal with his loss.
Magdelene, so sorry to hear of Floyd passing. Your in my thoughts and prayers. If I can help or do anything for you, please call me
Thought a lot of Floyd worked with him at Broughton. He loved to run his beagles and hit those soft balls. Rest in piece dear friend.
