Lloyd and family, I am sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. She always had a smile when I would come through the door. Lloyd you have all of my respect as you were always their for her. Every Monday you would be with her and making sure everything was going well. I could see the pain in your eyes the day we delivered meals and your Mom was so bad.
