    I’m very sorry for your loss. I got to know Lloyd while he was at SLC and I will miss him so much. He sat at my mom’s dinner table and I would visit with him about so many things that made him happy. He loved to talk about coon hunting, putting up hay, his cattle, and going to hoedowns to hear the fiddle players, as well as how much he loved Darlene. I realized today that he drove my daughters school bus when she was at the elementary school and he was always so sweet when he stopped to pick her up. I never worried about her safety when she was in his care. I pray that your family will be comforted by many happy and loving memories of him. May God bless you in the difficult days ahead.
