Truly miss you Lloyd! Miss the wisdom you shared & our talks to help me learn about our Lord & Savior Jesus. You were such a vital person in my life and I hope you were aware of that and how proud I was that you were in my life. I sure miss hounding you & calling you to ask questions about the Bible or wildlife or sharing stories with you. We miss your laugh and all the love you shared with not just my mom, Ken, & I but the special love you shared with our boys, Michael & Shawn, the very moment you met them you took them in as family & created such a special bond with them ( just as you did me) You were an integral part in their lives even though you didn’t have a long time to spend with them; the time you did, made a huge positive impact on their lives, especially Shawn. Often I see your mannerisms in Shawn & my heart smiles. Im so thankful to God that you were his grandpa, his buddy. Can’t tell you how often I think of you, talk about you, shed tears for you still to this day. I’m so blessed you were in my life and I often tell others how blessed I was that you had a part in helping me become the person I am.
