    I am so sorry for your loss and the pain you feel. It goes without saying that Skip will be missed. Having had the opportunity to watch him with those 2 Pereda grandchildren at family gatherings, it was obvious how he felt about them and they about him. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Marlynn and family,
    I had only met Lloyd this year through the Monsanto United Way campaign and what a nice person he was. We had a cell phone conversation one day while he was riding his Horse !! He always made me laugh. My deepest sympathy to you and your family during this difficult time. I love the picture of him.

    Marlynn,

    We just heard of Lloyd’s passing and are heartbroken. He certainly influenced many lives in so many ways including mine. He was the best friend a guy could have. I have fond memories of the night you two met as well as the day you married. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you pull through this together. Jeff and Kelly James

    Marlynn:
    I think you probably remember me. I am Gina and Jason Wandersee’s Aunt Cathy.
    I have known Skip since I was in high school. He always loved so much about life and it was great to see him at family gatherings. You were very good for him;you are so happy and “up” and kind to everyone. I am sure Skip absolutely adored you. The biggest shock was how absolutely “fit” and energetic and “ready to go” Skip always was when it came to his vigor towards life, his ranch, his horses,etc. We will all miss Skip. All the best to you from the family.We are here if you need anything, Marlynn.

    Marlynn,

    I just learned of your loss and my heart is broken for you. You were always the lucky one who found the rare “good guy” to love. I have been envious for these many years and am sorry that your time together in this life has ended. I know he will always watch over you and take care of you.

    My love to you always,
    Joyce

    I was sorry to learn of Skip’s passing. He and I were high school buddies, baseball team-mates, and stayed in touch for a few years after high school. In fact, he was a groomsman at my wedding. Skip was quite an athlete, a decent guy, and a great friend. I can recall many great times we shared. It was always my hope to catch up with him again — (Don’t put things off) — My sincerest condolences to his family.
