To the Family of Bill Loyd, In the loss of the one who shared your life. Memory is a story told in smiles and feelings shared, Full of dear, familiar faces and the dreams we've lived and dared... Memory is an album full of rare and priceless art, Precious moments kept forever in the pages of the heart. As painful and difficult as this time is, may you find comfort in the certainty that the one you loved will always be with you, and that all you shared together will forever be a part of your life. With Heartfelt Sympathy in the loss of your Loved One. My Thoughts and Prayers are with you. Leslie Jenke
