"I am a nurse at Miller. I will miss his laugh and how he loved to tell everyone how his wife was one of the best nurses there was. He talked about her with such pride and love. "
"I am a nurse at Miller. Lloyd was well loved. He was always smiling with kind eyes. I will truly miss him. "
"I was only 5 when Lloyd and my sister married. We shared lots of memories over the years. He was such a good man, and my heart breaks for Kathy, Kris, and all the kids. Although we cannot be with there for the services today, the Hancocks and Husks here in Kentucky are there in spirit."
"May fond memories and God?s loving words carry you through and beyond this difficult time of mourning. Isaiah 57:15"
"I work at Miller rehab in the office. Lloyd would often come to the reception area and read the daily newspaper. I would take off his reading glasses and clean them, as they always seemed to be dirty. I would put them back on his face and he would say..."Oh there you are!" and he would laugh. He could always make me smile. I will miss him dearly. "
"To the Klindworth family:I knew of your father and grandfather through your mother and grandmother-she took partial care of my father when she was a home health nurse.God bless all of you in your time of loss.Danny Soper."
