Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

First, moditorators please put this in the proper place as I do not know where it goes.

I spoke with Lloyd this morning from his Mothers bedside in the hospital. He said things do not look good. She has been fighting cancer for a while and Lloyd hinted around that this might be her last day or days.

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

I talked to Lloyd earlier this week and heard the same news. It sounds like he is going to take it week by week and see how his mom does and if he ports heads or not. I know he is currently not working on heads. My prayers go out for Lloyd and his family. I wish them the best of luck.

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

No wonder I can't get ahold of him. I feel horrible for him. I keep bothering him about my heads. I will keep him and his mom in my prayers.

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

Lloyd's mother has been doing bad for quite awhile. He quit taking porting orders a little while ago and is giving all his time for her.

As for this thread, I didn't see it as necessary. Simply stating that he's having a faimly emergency would suffice. Plus there have been quite a few other threads concerning the matter...

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

As for this thread not being necessary; the reason I posted it was for prayer for Lloyd and his family. Lloyd and his family are Christan and has requested prayer. I did not want to come right out and say 'pray for Lloyd and his family' but most of the people that responded to this post did in fact know to pray for his mom and family. Being specific is how prayer works best. GOD listens to our prayers and response with: "YES" , "NO", "WAIT".

If you disagree, pick up your bible and start reading.

Best regards,

My comments had absolutely nothing to do with Christianity or beliefs. I just feel that I would have been SUFFICIENT to say 'Lloyd is having a family emergency' Prayers or whatever else can be had for such... Being as specific as you were in stating that his mother was on her death bed was unnecessary...you being a devout Christian, as Im sure you are, should know this...

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

Well.. actually.. Lloyd's mom passed away a few weeks ago.

But when I last saw him, ended up getting an LE2 cam "hand delivered ", he was in good spirits.

Re: Lloyd's Mom is not doing well

I'll be sure to offer up a prayer tonight for her. I've been happy to be a customer of Lloyd and he has always been polite and gracious in his time and cust. service.

She must have done something right raising him

Re:

I spoke with Lloyd last night and he was in good spirits and yes his mom did pass away. He gave me some insite on a parent's death and how hospice (SP?) helped out his family. My mom is 85 and declining in health also. Most of us will experience this during our life time. I am not looking foward to this in the least.
