Condolences
I can hardly believe that Floyd has passed. Words cannot express the sadness I feel with Willa and now Floyd. I pray that God will bring comfort to you all at this time. I loved them both. God Bless you all!
My sincere condolences to Floyd Jr, Lee and all the family. Prayers of peace and comfort for you all during this most difficult time of double loss.
My Heart goes out to the family and friends of Floyd and Willa at this time of loss.
Floyd will be missed by everyone who knew him. I will certainly miss his beautiful tenor voice in the Mt. Zion choir. He and Willa were such a wonderful couple and examples of love and kindness. I feel blessed to have known them both. God bless his family with peace and comfort.
I will miss this wonderful man of God. They died only three days apart. This seems fitting knowing how much they loved each other. You seldom saw one without the other. Floyd was called on many times through out the years to preach. I don't recall a single time he declined to fill in. He loved to preach and if he went too long Willa would send him a signal that it was time to stop.
Floyd was a wonderful guy with a quick dry wit. I always enjoyed seeing him at the bank. A life well lived.
Our condolences and love to your family. God bless you all. Pam and Tom Digges Manassas, Va.
Floyd, Lee, and family, It is so sad to be writing sincere sympathy again for the passing of your Dad and Grandfather.... We have loved both of your parents for many years and it's both sad and also a blessing that they've gone together to their eternal home. No more struggles, they are fully shed of their earthly bodies and in the company of the saints and angels. We will greatly miss their presence in our church lives they both had so much spark and spunk and loved you all so much. Cherish the many stories and memories that will be shared over these days and weeks ahead. We pray these will help you remember and also bring smiles to erase some of your sadness. In sympathy and love...
Prayers for peace and comfort during this emotional time. Hugs. Nancy from Nags Head.
Mr. Floyd and Mrs. Willa were such a great couple it is not surprising they passed close together. You could always see their love for one another and for God. Sorry to hear of their passing and will be praying for the family.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hoskinson Sr but having worked with his son can imagine what a wonderful gentleman he was. My heart and prayers are with you and your family Floyd.
