All of you who know Lloyd know of the love he had for his family, the gospel, temples, any kind of sport,being in the outdoors and his Savor Jesus Christ. As we gathered around Grandpa during his last few hours we shared many stories. We laughed as we talked of the cabin and the boys and their hunting and fishing adventures. We felt peace as we read scriptures and disused the great love Grandpa has for the gospel and how lived it.
We wiped away a few tears as we sang hymns and primary songs around his bed during his last few minutes. You could feel the spirit so strong in his room and the joy he must have been feeling to be reunited with his sweetheart and daughter once again.
Soon after he passed someone said “I wonder if he is passing though the veil right now?" We talked about how he was the last one in his family to go and how they might feel being able to welcome him home. We wondered if those beyond the veil feel the same way about welcoming someone back home as we do when we welcome a new baby to earth.
As Kent, Larry and Roger stood around him I heard them say
“Well done thy good and faithful servant you have passed the test.”
we love you and will miss you until we met again
