Memories and Condolences
for Leon Loyd

Not sure what to say?





Dad, I cannot begin to tell you how much you've meant to me growing up! You were a wonderful dad and always found time to take us hunting and fishing. You also taught us how to play baseball and coached us when you could after a hard days work. You are in a much better place and are no longer suffering. It brings me peace knowing that you are in heaven and pain free! I love you daddy and miss you more than you will ever know!
R.I.P.
Your heart-broken youngest son Doug.
