THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH to all the people who helped me when I fell in the parking lot at Walmart on Dec 30th, 2018, at 1:00PM. Thanks to the man who tried to pick me up, but my legs wouldn’t work. I was lying on the parking lot and a woman got a blanket and folded it to make a pillow under my head to keep it off the cold pavement. Someone else asked if I was warm enough and my hands were freezing so someone gave me a pair of gloves, which I still have. Someone got a blanket to put over me. And thanks to the woman who locked the doors to my car and to the person who called the ambulance. If I missed anyone, I’m sorry but I want to thank all who helped me from the bottom of my heart. My legs are still weak, but I can get around a bit with the help of my walker.

WAGNER - In loving memory of our dear dad and ‘papa’, Willard Lloyd, who left us much too soon, on January 17, 1983. He went away without farewell, he said goodbye to none, but Heaven’s gate was open wide, and a loving voice said “Come”. Beside his grave we often stand, our hearts are tired and sore, but through the gloom there comes the words, “not dead, just gone before”. Forever loved and missed by daughter Cheryl, son-in-law Mac, grandchildren Mac, Erin, Janelle and their families.
