Lloyd's parting wishes were to share the following scriptures:

This I recall to mind, therefore I have confidence. It is of Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions never fail. They are renewed every morning; great is Thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion says my soul, therefore will I have confidence in Him. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him. For we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, and to those who are called according to a predetermined plan. He who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up as a substitute for all of us, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. For of Him and through Him, and to Him are all things. To whom be glory forever and ever. If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, we shall one day meet in Heaven.
