Lloyd served Emmanuel Baptist faithfully because he knew and loved his Savior, Jesus. The Mills River Community knew and loved him for his gentle spirit and availability to assist anyone in need. We will miss him for now but join the Raptured Church and meet him in the air. Pastor Ron Benzing
I had some classes with Mr. Bryson at AB Tech back in 08-09. He was a very knowledgeable and kind man. His many years of experience in machine maintenance was a great help to the rest of us students.
Family, Your in our thoughts and prayers during this.
Susan, so sorry to hear about Lloyd. I only met him a few times, but I know he was a kind and humble man and will be missed by you and the Mills River community. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
