Dear Harriet, I've thought about you so much! Everyone is going to miss Lloyd very very much. I know that he was (is) and always be your love and best friend! I'm thankful that I got to know him, and I told everyone that I wanted to adopt him! I just lost my Uncle (my Mothers brother) this month also! He was like a Father to me, and at the hospital the day I was born. Anna lost two Uncles this month within a week of each other. It hasn't been the greatest month! Too many special people, and almost too much to handle. Please take care of yourself, and know that we will never forget him!

Love Paul and Vonda Kaye Clyde and family
