Heidi,
I am deeply saddened by the passing away of your father. During this holiday season, the loss is extremely difficult, but you will always possess special memories of your father. You and your family are in my prayers.
Heidi:
As we talked about earlier, there are a lot of arms wrapped around you giving you giant hugs. Words cannot express how we feel in losing a parent. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I know he must have been so proud of you for who you are. Much love, Nancy
Dear Heidi,I was so saddened to hear about your father. We have talked about our families in the past and I hope that the love and the recollection of happy times bring comfort and maybe even a smile amidst the tears. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your Lane and CJ as well as your mother and sister and all those who love him.
Take care of one another.

Dear Family of Lloyd Brown,
I want to express my sincere sympathy for the loss of your loved one. You can be assured that comfort and encouragement can be found in the Bible. At Revelations 21: 4 you can read of a time when pain and suffering will be no more. What a wonderful hope. Please take care of yourselves.
Sincerely
Cindy, Carol and Heidi,
I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Lloyd from church many years ago. He was always so nice to us kids. I know that you will miss him dearly but know that one day God will wipe away all of your tears and you will be reunited with your loved one. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Heidi and family
My thoughts, love and prayers are being sent to you and your family. Your Dad had to be proud of you, the special lady that you are, and the way you live your life .Your faith, God’s love, and the prayers of all the friends that love you, will give you strength. Please take care of yourself.
Cindy and family, we are very sorry for your loss.
Heidi and Mrs. Brown,
I am so very sorry for your loss..I know you will miss him greatly. We have only had the privilege of seeing Brownie at family functions, and therefore, not really had the time to get to know him really well…but, whenever we think of him, we think of his big smile and wonderful laugh and sense of humor! Your family and our nephew and niece were so blessed to have him. Love you both, Stanley and Carol
Dear Carol, Heidi,and Cindi, My deepest sympathy to you all. I am so sorry for your loss. I am praying for you. If you need anything just let me know.
I am so sorry for the loss of your father and husband. You are in my prayers.

sympathy and love to you and your family. We are thinking of you and including you in our prayers.

My deepest condolences to you and your family at this sad time.
Heidi, Bruce, and Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. May God’s comfort be with you at this time.

You are certainly in my heart these days as you grieve your father’s death and celebrate his life. I hope you will take plenty of time to be with your family in the days and weeks ahead.
Heartfelt love and prayers,

Heidi and Family,
In the movie Steel Magnolias, Truvy said that laughter through tears was her favorite emotion. While your broken hearts heal, don’t forget the soothing balm of laughter. Let it through to allow you to fully experience the gamut of what your Dad meant to you and all those whose life he touched.
I found this to be so true. I hope it helps you too.
And when it doesn’t, don’t worry, because there are so many prayers to hold you up. You all are in ours.
Peace.
Dear Carol, Heidi,Cindy and families,
Mitch and I were shocked and saddened to read of Lloyd’s passing this morning. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. We have great memories of being neighbors and always appreciated your love and kindness to us as we began our family. We will continue to keep you close in our thoughts and send our deepest condolences.
Love,
Mitch and Gail McEntire
Cindy and Family:
I am sorry to hear of the passing of Lloyd. My family will keep you in our prayers always. We love you with all our heart. If there is anything we can do for any of you please call anytime.
We Love You!
Heidi,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May you feel God’s presence in the days, weeks and months ahead.
Sorry for the loss of your father Heidi.
Ivy
Heidi,
Thinking of you & your family and knowing that God will confort you at this time. Take care of yourself and your family.
Sandra
Dear Heidi, I was so sorry to hear about the death of your dad when I came into work Monday morning. I know this is a stressful time and I am praying that you can find peace in your happy memories of him. Love, Nancy Manning
Dear Carol and family- Bless you with peace and comfort at this time, the loss of Brownie was a shock to me, I send regrets not to be there with you. I have over 1000 policyholders and can’t recall all their faces, but we enjoyed many emails and lunch, not something I have time to share with all clients! I met a dedicated father and a great husband in Brownie and will always remember his quick wit. My mom passed Thanksgiving Day and my Dad New Years, so you recognize my empathy. I don’t know that I will meet my parents in heaven but I will meet Brownie on streets of Gold one day. Prayers, Renée
