Uncle Lloyd was very special to me always made me feel special, always had a hug, a smile, a joke, and deep love from his heart. He is now one of our angels and stars to look down on all of us especially his beautiful loving family my cousins and my favorite Aunt Jesse they were a beautiful example of a Christian family who loves the Lord. I have many fond memories of him and that i’m very blessed to have had him in my life even when we are so far apart. I will miss you Uncle Lloyd. But i know someday we will all be together again.

Dear Jesse, Peggy, Gary, Vaughn, and all their family;
I was so sorry to read Lloyd’s obituary in the Enterprise. I recently relocated back to Livingston and was speaking of Lloyde just yesterday morning when I was talking about my retail experience. I look back on my time at Robbins, Inc. with nothing but fondness, and am grateful my time with Lloyde and all the other great people that worked there. I am sure Lloyd is smiling down from above as he watches over you all.
God speed,
Dona
