"We'll miss our summertime "get togethers"... cooking out on the grill with good food and good company. Uncle Lloyd absolutely loved relaxing on the water. We'll miss him very much, but no doubt he is basking in the sun by the sea in Heaven. Aunt Mary, we pray you will feel love, hope, and blessings from the many prayers sent up on your behalf. We pray for much healing in your family."

"I have such nice memories of "Mr. Cusic" and the family. He was a solid citizen of the community and contributed much during his life to improving it. Cinda and I have several pieces of family heirloom furniture that he refinished that are great reminders of his work. He was truly a kind and caring gentleman who will be greatly missed by many."

"Uncle Lloyd was my Dad's oldest brother and I have many wonderful memories of him...family get-togethers at his house and how he always loved to tease me. I know he's in a better place with Maw and his brothers who have gone before him. He'll be missed."
