What a privilege to know Cloyd, and to be able to pray with him and over him in his last days. His testimony of being ready for heaven was clear, and we know in God's grace and promise he is in the presence of our Lord. Thank God.

Although you have endured a great loss, there is always comfort in knowing a loved one is no longer suffering. What a lucky man Cloyd was to have had such a rich life. He left behind a wonderful wife, a daughter who epitomizes his character and strong will, and a grandson that made him so proud. We will remember Cloyd fondly and pray for all of you during your time of loss.
