Tributes
"My sincere sympathy Nathalie and family. I so enjoyed talking with Floyd each time you came into the shop for your yarn. He really enjoyed watching you select your yarns and helping you wind them when you got home. He really appreciated your talents and always was willing to share how proud he was of your knitting skills. I know he did the driving, so if you need anything just give me call and I will see it gets to you. Know you are in my prayers. Gail Thiessen "The Sheep's Stockings""
