I knew "Blondie" most of my life and always enjoyed our visits. She was a good friend to my family and I feel a real sadness but I know she is with Lloyd. My thoughts are with the family.

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please know that God will comfort and sustain you. Psalms 34:18 says that He is near to those broken at heart and saves those crushed in spirit. Please keep His promises close to your heart. I offer my deepest sympathies to your entire family.
