Dear Prue, Bobby and Robin,
I am sorry to learn of the passing of Lloyd. He was certainly an interesting man. I have lots of fond memories of him from when I was a young girl. I hope you will share memories with each other and find peace and comfort in doing so. I remember him taking me out to his "Pidgeon Compound" and attempting to educate me on the finer points of raising pidgeons, it still brings a smile to my face. He will certainly be missed by all he touched.
Your old friend,
