James Carey says
IGÇÖm saddened with the passing of a good friend. What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words Lloyd and I go back many years during our military careers and I shall always remember him.
Civilization is a place where men rise and fall like the winter wheat. The dawn brings new rays every day yet there are some people who rise every day and bring to life, cherished memories, teachings and faith that help us sail the journey of life.
General Douglas MacArthur quipped, “Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.” Lloyd has faded but will be with us at every turn in the road. His spirit will be with us for the rest of our lives.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the words of Revelation 21:4: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passes away.”

Lloyd was such a faithful attendant at Mustard Seed bible study We shared the same table for many years. I will always remember his quiet and kind presence. Thursday morning will not be the same without him. I thank you-his family- for sharing him with us. I pray that God will lead you through this time of grief.
