Sending heartfelt condolences to the Everette family. May God provide you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Rev. 21:3,4.
Greetings in the radiant name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
To the cherished family of the late Floyd Arthur Everett, Jr., from the hearts of the late Betty Evan-Hill's kin, we come together in this moment of remembrance. The world has indeed lost a remarkable soul, and you have lost a devoted husband, son, and brother. This is a collective mourning for us all, yet we acknowledge that the sorrow you bear is uniquely profound and deeply personal.
We fondly recall the joyous memories, like seeing you visiting your late Aunt Betty's house on your motorcycle and your pockets generously filled with the biscuits she baked specially for you. Such memories of laughter and shared happiness, much like the times our dear Grandmother Lila William reveled in the delight of those seven-layer cakes, bring light to our hearts. We cherish your vision of playing football at Hayden High School, which is a testament to your spirited youth and vitality.
As we hold these precious memories close, let us find solace in the comforting words of Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." May this assurance uplift your spirits, knowing your loved one is now in eternal peace with the Lord.
Please remember our hearts and hands are extended towards you, and we are ready to support you in any way we can during this tender time. Your journey of healing is not one you walk alone. Rev. Sandra Brown
May you rest in peace to my friend, Mr. Floyd Everett. You will be missed greatly. Forever in my heart! Love Felicia
May you rest in peace When you were called to heaven it was because you finished your job on earth God said job well done
Brother Floyd and I were in the 1970 Graduating class from Hayden High School in Franklin,VA! Seeing him successfully participate in various sports made my high school years more pleasant! I remember that he always approached his classmates and teachers with a wonderful smile and lots of manners! It's not surprising that he grew up to become a loving husband and father on whom his family could depend ! It is evident in his life's work that he showed strong leadership skills and worked well with coworkers . May his family take comfort in knowing that he is now resting safely in the arms of the Heavenly Father because he truly did love the Lotd. In Deepest Sympathy, Patricia Fulton Hunter( Class of 1970)
I'm sorry for your family's loss. I wish you peace
