Floyd “Smiley” Hollman

The family of have been incredibly blessed by the outpouring of love, support, and prayers exhibited to us during our time of bereavement.

When it seemed our loss was too great to bear, we looked up, and our family and friends were there, with words, both written and spoken, with faces smiling and hearts open. You comforted us and shared our grief. “Smiley” was blessed with so many friendships, and we are blessed with yours. ~May God Bless and Keep You All

We’ll Always Love You, Dad! Each day you strived to live, Your body too weak to be.

Your love will live forever, Since your heart has set you free.

Hard days may be before us, It’s all apart of God’s plan Why you left so soon, We may never understand.

Now you walk so bravely, You feel the pain no more.

Ange’s have come to guide you And bring you to Heaven’s door.

You’ll be alone no longer, And You’d tell us, “Don’t be sad.”

Please believe, you were no burden We’ll always love you, Dad!

Memories we’ll hold so dearly, Your smile warmed our hearts And though our lives you’ll live, You’ve touched so many parts.

Our lives have changed forever, Since the day you passed away.

In Heaven, you’ll be waiting To meet us again someday.

Brittany, Asha, LaTerrious, Tiffany & Harold
