Obituary

William Earl Flood, nicknamed "Ricky" by all that knew him, passed away at his home on Friday, December 24, at the age of 67.

William Earl Flood was born in Greenville, NC, to Mother Edna Tyson, who preceded him in life.

Poem

A golden heart stopped beating, Hardworking hands at rest, it broke our hearts to see you go, God only takes the best. They say that memories are golden, well maybe that is true, but we never wanted memories, we only wanted you. Your life was love and labor, your love for your family true, you did your best for all of us, we will always remember you.

Obituary

Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according to unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: My sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest and be clear when thou judgest. Behold, I was sharpened in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me know wisdom.

Psalm 51
