To one of my closest friend Joyce and my baby girl Dana,& Damion(act & look just like Lloyd)we all know the laughter will continue because Lloyd gave all of us memories to keep in our hearts. Our late lifetime movie nights with Lloyd making me laugh everytime he goes back & forward to the garage. Always made me feel welcome in his on way he was a philosopher to get his views on something heard rather we wanted to here it or not. Prayers & Love to my family
