To The Family of Lloyd Nolan Sr:
I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. (1Thess 4:13) For the believer, there is something beyond the grief, tears, pain and loss. There is hope. Believers never say goodbye for the last time. The Lord has promised to prepare a place in heaven above. A home where we will always be with Him and those we love. (Sper) Lloyd's calm and gentle spirit is the memory I hold of him. I pray his sweet spirit will be a source of comfort and fond memories for you, too.

"Memories Live Forever"
Memories live forever, they grow richer through the years. They are nurtured by our laughter, they are watered by our tears. Memories live forever, sent from heaven above, to eternally connect us to the people that we so dearly love. We, your family, Uncle Bobby, Auntie Sandy and cousins Ta'mori & Lunati Hamilton feel your loss. But more importantly, we want to say thank you all for sharing your father, "The father" as we all say to affectionately with us. Whenever we came home and he was around we would always share memories and spend time with us talking about you kids and how it was back in the days. Oh boy, what joy and laughter he always embraced us in. God Bless You All.
