Junior was a great Sunday School teacher. He laid a lot of ground work for me as a young Christian. He is in heaven now, no doubt about that. Pat, you and Everett Loyd are in our prayers.

Everett was very special to me. I worked for Everett and Pat on their farm in the 80’s. I was young and they not only gave me a great job but genuinely cared about others and myself. He taught me alot that I’ve carried and used through out my life.
He will be deeply missed!
