May the family of Lloyd Baker find comfort in your loving memories, and in knowing that God is “near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) While grief at the loss of Lloyd is great, joy at receiving him back in the resurrection will be greater. (Mark 5:42) With deepest sympathy,
Krissa says
