Lloyd was my first cousin and growing up, we spent lots of wonderful times together with family. He will be deeply missed and always remembered. Judy, Michael,Becky, Joanna, Uncle Houston, and Mark and family, may God give all of you the strength to "ride this out" and remain strong in your faith and always cherish the wonderful memories that you will always have. God Bless You All!
