    Uncle Lloyd’s family: I was so sorry to learn of Lloyd’s death. Melva emailed the message. Lloyd had a wonderful smile and it was always good to see him on visits to Gladstone. Now there is only Uncle Carl left as a “child of the immigrants.” It’s sad. It’s the way of all flesh. God bless you all. Love, Margie (Virginia’s older daughter)

    Dearest Nyberg Family,
    I was sad to learn of Lloyd’s death last week, but then I saw his smile in my mind, and felt the great joy he must be feeling to be in Heaven with your Mom. He is in that wonderful place now, which must be a comfort as you face losing him. Last September, when I was visiting Gladstone for my 40th class reunion, in my attempt to catch up to him as he left church so I could visit with him, I had to hustle – – he was so spry, and still had that wonderfully warm smile and kind voice. It was really nice to see him again after quite a few years, and I am thankful I had that opportunity. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. And he is etched in our memories – -he was a wonderful part of my growing-up years in the Covenant Church, that is for sure.
    Love to all of you! Fondly,

    Dear Linda, Sue, Barb, and David,
    I was so very sorry to hear of the passing of your dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I still remember his sense of humor when we “hung out” at your house. He was an inspiration at all and a true Swede.

    Dear Linda, Susan, Barbara and David,
    It is with sadness that we send this letter tonight. Your father was a very special man and we will always remember him for his warm smile, his hearty handshake and big heart. He was always there to be of service at our Covenant church in any way he could. We are so happy that we got to see him when we were up there in October. We pray that God will comfort you during this time. Peace to his memory.

    To the Nyberg Family,
    Over the years I have heard so many wonderful stories about Lloyd I feel like I know even though I never had the chance to meet him. Dave’s stories reflect how genuine of a person he must have been. It is never an easy thing when one fisherman must tell another goodbye for a final time. Lloyd is probably setting up a deer camp & finding some good fishing spots to share with us in the future as we speak 🙂

    We are so sorry to hear about Lloyd’s passing. I always remember is big smile and bright rosey cheeks. He was one of the last men that always wore a suit coat to church and I loved that so much. How wonderful for the family that you were all able to go to Sweden with Lloyd last summer. What great memories you’ll have. Hugs to all
