Huntington Beach, CA Tuesday, February 16, 2021 There are no words to express the loss of a loved one.Our family is is praying peace and comfort over your family, Lloyd's close friends and siblings as this loss penetrates your hearts and thoughts.
This always gives me comfort...~2 Corinthians 4:16-18~Therefore we do not lose heart, though outwardly we are wasting away yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and our momentary troubles are achieving for us eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary and and what is unseen is eternal. Hugs
