Lyoyd, What a wonderful life you had & have now. You made me laugh so much all the time no matter what the situation was about. You always found the way to make me laugh. You were the BEST Santa Claus ever even though we knew it was you. We so missed you when you were in Vietnam & prayed for your safe return. What a wonderful day that was to see you again. Yes throwing me over your shoulders just because you could & you are my big cousin. You will be missed so much here on earth. I love you Lloyd & always will.
