The Shelton family will be in my thoughts during this sad time. I always enjoyed hanging out with Lloyd, Mary Jane and the family. Lloyd always made me feel welcome and was fun to be around. It seemed like he was always knocking a wall out or remodeling a room (and it always looked great when he was done). He will be missed for sure. My deepest sympathies to Mary Jane, Sheryl, Jay and Buffy.
