Dear Ron; Dawn returned Noreen”s call as we
sat together. We both felt sick to our stomachs at the shock; Words have not yet been created to adequately express sympathy to your family for such a loss. I last spoke to uncle Floyd after his previous accident he was doing well and he said Aunt Bernice had him walking a mile down the road. I wish that they were still taking their walks on Earth.. Love Hugs and prayers to you and your Family. Debra

Sharon Evans says
Krista, Karen, Ronnie and Daryl it is inconceivable that Bernice and Floyd have passed. They’re in so many of our childhood and adult memories. All the way back to when they lived next to the Dolan Road Irving gas station (N.B.) then decided to move their house when the government decided to move the highway. Bernice was always a phenomenal cook and Floyd could construct anything. The 4 of you and your significant other family members will require lots of time, kind actions and patience as you move through the days ahead. There hasn`t been a day gone by that we haven`t thought of all of you this week and our thoughts will definitely be with you tomorrow – Saturday, September 27, 2014.
