A Tribute To
Mrs. Nora Floyd
. ... ’ ~1

l - .
A tribute of respect to my be
loved wife, Lou Nora Floyd, who
was born in Cherokee County,
Alabama, April 14th, 1881.
She passed from this life No
vember 1, 1956. She lived a quiet
Christian life, and was loved by
most everybody. She was most
devoted to her Lord, and I will
have to say she was a devoted
wife; she was very thoughtful of
me and wanted to do all she
could for my happiness. She was
a woman of prayer; she loved
her Bible.
I call to mind the scripture
where it says, “Blessed are the
dead who henceforth saith rest
from their labors and their
works do follow them.” So it was
with her. I just want to say this,
we shall live on after death
comes for us; life and influence
shall live in others. So it is very
important that we live for God.
I call to mind one of Nora’s fa
vorite songs, “I Shall Not Have
to Cross Jordon Alone.” I think
when she came to Jordon's banks
the Lord was there to lead her
across safely. That is also one
of my favorite songs. So it is
wonderful to know we won’t have
to cross alone. I can never tell
all the good things about Nora,
she was so mindful of me. I
can never tell all of her good
deeds in words, as if Nora had
been a millionaire and carried
me all over the world, showed
me everything that eye could see
or heart could wish for. I often
visit her grave, just to stand
over it and thank God for her
humble Christian life. That is
worth more than the whole
world to me. Someone may read
this who is not saved; I say to
you. prepare to meet thy God.
Written by Nora's husband.
—Charlie A. Floyd
