I am so saddened by the loss of Uncle Lloyd. It is so difficult to lose someone that is so close to you. I find myself crying at his loss, but smiling at all the wonderful memories of the time spent with him. I will miss his " Uh-Uup" at the gate as I drive up to the house this summer. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Mr. Spider was a great person and will be missed by all that was fortunate enough to know him.

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
And whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went though,
So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best
And when I saw you sleeping.
So peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back
To suffer that again.

It saddens me to hear of Mr. Lloyd's passing. For the past two years the names of Heitmeier and Whittenburg have appeared far too frequently in the obituary section of the paper. In mourning the loss of the person we loved, we are also mourning the loss of a significant part of Algiers history. My prayers are with you.
