Such a joy to know that Cloyd is in the presence of our Almighty Lord and Saviour. I always enjoyed our Sunday School chats. I was sorry to see that he had become ill and was having a struggle. The last time I visited with him was at Wal-mart and he and Doris were shopping. He was riding in a cart and we had a nice visit about my husband going to be with the Lord. Now they can have a long chat!

Such a fine man and someone that I will miss dearly. I apologize for not being able to be with the family, especially Doris, during this time due to my work schedule but pray they know I'm with them in my heart and prayers.
