I would like to offer my sincerest condolences during this difficult time, the loss of a loved one can be a painful experience. I hope you can find a measure of comfort in God's Word the Bible. For example, in Revelation 21:4 it mentions a time that is coming when death will be no more and in John 5:28,29 it says how all those in the memorial tomb will come out. So we will have the opportunity to see our loved ones again. For more information about this topic and much more please visit JW. org.

Lou ,Susan ,Steve ,James, Jeff, Where do I start about Lloyd- what a incredible man, I always enjoyed getting into a conversation with him at the shop about horses, farming or anything .I bought a colt from him one time and Hunter turned out to be one of the most awesome horse I had owned and Lloyd would always ask about him every time I would run in to him. Lloyd will be missed by all of us. Your all in our thoughts and prayers

Lloyds family, I was sorry to read about Lloyds passing. My Dad, Bud Chrisensen, always would take his trucks to Westland to be worked on when needed. I remember how Dad would say he was a good man and knew his engines. Maybe they are having some good visits and having a cup of coffee. I pray God will comfort you all as I know he can.
