I remember,so vividly,growing up in the old church at the foot of Garden street,St.John,St.Stehen,Presbyterian,and to me Mr Floyd,was so very very handsome,dark,with gorgeous eyes,and to me Marcia,was the picture of him,Mrs,Floyd,was,and still looks beautiful,in this picture,and Vicki,was always,beautiful,looking identical to her Mum.Vicki was my very best friend at church,Sunday School,and Choir,and choir practice,I couldn’t wait to be with her,and we had so much fun,that,the choir director,was always trying to separate us…..it was for me,such an important friendship,though,we didn’t see each other,outside of the church.She lived,in Saint John West,and that was like going to China,in my day…..I think,we shared Christmas pageants together,in the early years,and I think,classes for our first communion,,,,it was the joy for me going to that church,and Vicki and I,,,,were like magnets,,,,,,together.It still,brings me joy,just thinking about her.Much later in my life,I came into contact,with a couple of great guys,friends of my husbands,who informed me,they had both been madly in love,with my adorable childhood friend,Vicki Floyd! Still,to this very day,I think of her father,and mother,and how truly lov they were,to all the children,and later I remember Vicki’s Mum,Nancy in the senior choir.Of,course looking back,now,I’m touched by all the memories from the church,and how it shaped me,,,,as a person,greatful! There were other friends,from that era,but no one to me had the magic,that Vicki and I,seemed to shared……in that important time of shaping our young lives,I’ve always missed not staying in touch with Vicki,though I know she was called me as an adult,when she was across the street from my home,but I was not home…..May the memories,of this wonderful Mother,and Grandmother,Bless you all,and help with your sadness,of this great loss….sending Blessings,and Love,Heather,and Terry Reed.
