FUNERAL

Here is Josh, Kate and Heston looking at Daddy Lloyd.

The funeral went ok. It was tiring. The kids did SOOOOO great! We were so proud. Heston did not really understand what all was going on. Kate got it a little and of course Josh got it completely. Kate drew a picture of an angel for him. Mi Jean asked if she could place it in the casket (under his pillow) and Kate said sure. He was awarded the American Flag as he was a WWII veteran. He was born in Goose Creek, TX and was an electrician and mechanic. He worked for DuPont Sabine River Works for 36 years and retired in 1982. There was a picture in the program that I had never seen before. He was really muscular and had dark wavy hair. One of my fondest memories is when I was little, he ate a salad I had made from the scraps my mom had put aside...I worked so hard on my salad and was upset when no one would eat it, but DL came through and ate it for me....The other memories are more recent, He came to Fort Worth when I had Katelyn and Heston. We have pictures of him holding each of them. He also drove 6 hours with MJ to help me with Kate while I was having difficulties in my pregnancy with Heston. He was always willing to help. I am sosososo thankful that Jon and I went to Orange for a few days while we were in TX for Christmas last year, as that was the last time I saw him alive. Josh has A LOT of makeup work from missing so much school. He has also made the basketball team again this year so we are currently overlapping sports: both football and basketball, so we are staying extremely busy. Kate is doing great in school. On Oct 28th I met with her teacher and she is right on track with everything and her teacher said she is extremely smart. Heston is also fine, I talked to the director of his daycare today and she is wanting to move him up to the 4 year old class, We have decided to try it for a week and see how it goes. I will have to keep you posted. Jon and I are shopping for a new dryer- isn't there always something that needs to be replaced or repaired??? I sure feels that way! Until next time....
