Dear Family
I was sorry to learn of Lloyds passing. I had the opportunity and pleasure of working with him at VFB and Westvaco for many years before locating to Cleveland TN. Lloyd was one that always gave his best and was a model employee. May God Bless you and provide each of you strength and comfort.

Beulah Athletic Association was saddened to hear of the loss of your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

In the days ahead, remember these words . . . .

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Linda, I was saddened by the news of the homegoing of your father, my brother In-Law. I've tried to reach you by cell but to no avail. I will keep you and the entire family in my prayers. Can you just imagine Ted being face to face with Jesus on Christmas morning. Our lost is certainly God's gain. Love you, and I'll see you on Thursday. I'm here for you. Love Sister

Donna, Patti and Peggy,
My deepest sympathy in the loss of your Father. I never meet him but knew he was a wonderful man and a loving father in knowing you three and from the story one of you told me once about the long drive he had to make everyday to get home after working the midnight shift. I never drive down that way that I don't think of him and that story.
May God's love help you find strength and peace during your time of sorrow.

To Mrs. Waddy and Family
We are sorry we can’t be with you tomorrow, but our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

May you find comfort in knowing that earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal.
