Daddy, it has now been one year since you went to be with the Lord in heaven. With each day that passes it seems to get a little easier, but there are still the moments in time when i will see, hear or think about something and i find myself reaching for the phone to call you so we can talk about it. I Love and miss you Daddy with each passing day. I miss your laugh, seeing you make your Daddys funny face for we girls and hearing I love you baby. I feel your spirit everyday and i know you are with us all. Love you Daddy.

Happy New Year in Heaven Daddy. We love and miss you very much, but we know that you are having a wonderful time in Heaven with the Lord, Family and Friends.

Going Home

How do you explain the death of someone that you love?
They suffer long and hard all day with no help from above.
Their eyes grow dim, their fever climbs, their breathing’s barely seen.
How is it God who loves us all can be so terribly mean?
Then morning breaks and if you listen, you’ll hear the first birds sing.
The sun comes out, a light breeze blows and you wonder what it’ll bring.
More pain, more tears or even death... Dear God where are you now?
My Daddy’s dying, my Mom is crying, please help and show me how.
If God is great and God is good, please take my Daddy home.
I’ll miss him so. I’ll let him go, but first I need to know - 
Will you let him know I loved him and I tried to ease his pain?
I wanted to bring him sunshine, not storm clouds filled with rain.
And now the darkness slips away as the sunlight hits his face.
I feel your presence, Daddy, along with God’s good grace.
The pain on earth we feel is not sent from God above.
He doesn’t cause the heartaches. He only gives us love.
God let us have you, Daddy, though the time has slipped away.
I’m glad you were my father and I thank God for you each day.
No one will ever take away the special times we shared.
You are at peace now, Daddy. You know how much I cared.

Someone said "it is not what you take from this world that solidifies your legacy; but what you leave behind" this stands true with my grandfather. He was able to touch so many people from different walks of life. I consider myself lucky for being lucky enough to have two of the greatest people in the world, influence my life in the ways that they have. I will miss him, but know I will see him again.

Hey Daddy, today was another beautiful day, we all went out to the cemetary to visit with you. The wind was blowing and we knew that you were giving us angel kisses from heaven, we felt your hugs and your spirit all around us. We all keep you close to our hearts, we miss and love you with each day that passes. Love you our sweet daddy.

Thank you for taking us into your family! You will be missed FOREVER, but never forgotten! We love you Pappa Lou!

The loss of someone so close is difficult to bear.  We share your grief.

My dear uncle funk. I'm sure going to miss you and your kind understanding.At a time in my life when it seemed as if I was lost in the world, you loved me and always gave me the kind of advice that showed me everything would be o.k.I learned so much about music from you and will always remember us singing all those great county/blues songs on our road trip to Jackson in the summer of 73 when you took me to live with my father.Well unc, I'm sure you're up there with our Lord playing in that wonderful band. I love you and will miss you so very much.

In all the years that I have known ya'll, there have only been a few times that we were actualy together. Anytime that I could manage to come up, I would talk to you on the phone. You always made me laugh and feel good. I think of you as my phone daddy. I'm going to miss you. Mary, thank you for sharing your daddy with me. He was a very special man. I love you and the family.

Poppa, you keep the angels singing till the rest of us can be with you again. and you behave till Momma can be with you again to keep you in line. Momma Lou, I love you and if you ever need me I"m a phone call away.

DADDY I WILL MISS YOU AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN I WAS YOUNGER AND I WOULD CHASE THE CAR WITH YOU AND MAMA AND YOU WOULD SAY LETS STOP TO LET HER IN AND MAMA WOULD SAY JUST KEEP GOING SHE WANT EVER LET US GET AWAY. LOL I REALLY ENJOYED SINGING WITH MY DADDY. YOU ARE A SWEET ANGEL THAT WILL ALWAYS LOOK OVER ME. LOVE NORMA JEAN

Felton was an entertainer.  Not only did he entertain on stage with his singing and guitar,  he entertained each and every one of us on a personal level.  When I look back, every time he called me on the phone, and I saw it was Felton, I would instantly lose all my stress and put on a BIG OL GRIN.  Face to face encounters were no different.  When I think about it, I’m sure he affected everyone he knew in a similar way or fashion.
   
Felton knew something.  While we were all out struggling, doing what we do to try to become winners in this life, Felton just entertained.  His entertaining personality affected us ______ and lifted us.  For that, Felton was a "true winner in life" ______ and for that, he will be truly missed by all of us.

Mr Floyd, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting you but I do know you have two fine daughters.  Teresa and Katie have been good friends to me so you must have done something right... you were an awesome Dad!  I love you T & Katie!  Bless you and your family.

My amazing family I am keeping you all in my prayers. I know that Uncle Felton is now in peace and wearing the most beautiful angel wings and is singing and playing his guitar in in Gods choir!! I also know he is looking down from above on you all and is so very proud of you all!! His love will always surround you all!! 
I am truly sorry for your loss!! Lots of love!!

Our deepest sympathy, our prayers are with the entire Floyd family, specially with his loving daughters. Never got my wish to sing a country song together with him.  Joe and Jesse-Triumph Hospital X-Ray

I love you Daddy. You will always be in my heart.

A great Musician / Song Writer is gone, but will not be forgotten.
Felton Floyd will be missed.
My condolences and prayers go out to entire extended FLOYD family.  
God Bless !!!

With the deepest love and sympathy. Love yall all very much and I will be lifting you up in prayer. I know that he is in Heaven singing with the Lord almighty. Loved all the great photos. I pray the Lord wrap his loving arms around all of you and keep you. Love Sandy and Al

Dear Lou, this is one of the pictures I told you about today when we talked. It was taken at the 2003 family reunion in Utica. What a handsome couple! You and the girls all take
care of one another. We love you all
and each of you are in our thoughts 
and prayers.

My Sweet Daddy, I will forever carry you in my heart. You have been a wonderful and precious daddy, God gave you to us only for a time upon this earth, but we will carry you for an eternity. Each time i feel the wind blow upon my face, i know that you are sending me kisses form heaven. Thank you daddy for being the best daddy in all the world, for your unconditional love, goodness and kindness. Goodbye for now my sweet daddy until i see you again in heaven someday.

Gonna miss ya Felt. As my brother-in-law, I had tremendous respect for you as the husband of my sister and the father of 5 beautiful and talented daughters. You modeled the way for me as a young man to love my children unconditionally and to model the way for their legacies. I'm so glad you gave me a CD of your music when I saw you last and I know you are pickin and singing in the presence of the Lord! Amen.

Keeping you all in my prayers. God now has another Angel in Heaven to serenade him with many musical talents. Your loved one's journey on earth may have ended but his new journey in Heaven has just begun.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Thinking of you and your family during this most difficult time. 
May the love of God give you
strength and peace during this time in the valley.

Momma and family-
Our love and prayers are being sent to you during this time of sadness.  We know Papa is up there right now singing loud and beautifully with all God's angels.  If there is anythinng we can do, please let us know.  
Gina and Eddie Diamond (Sarah and Jacob too)
