Happy Birthday Loyd:

We are happy to join you and all your family in all the festivities celebrating your birthday.

Remember our ski trip sponsored by the Jaycees in l955. Elsie, you and I took a train from Rockford to Iron Mountain, Michigan. As I recall you and I had to behave ourselves because you were married and I was engaged to Allan, but we still had a good time. I don't remember doing much skiing, but I know I had fun ice skating.

We always enjoyed the visits when you and Fran stayed with us on your way to Florida to visit Karen. Good company and good conversations.

Over the years at our Richardson Family Reunions, many times you wanted to know if there was something you could do to help. After our meals there was Loyd washing dishes. Oh yes! Then there was our special breakfast made to order. What a treat - both the breakfast and the someone who prepared it.

Loyd, to know you is to know someone special - Happy 90th Birthday

God's Blessings on all your tomorrows

Marlene and Allan

Happy 90th Birthday!!

Dear Loyd, Fran & Family,

First, a very Happy 90th Birthday Loyd, and wishes for many more.
Liz and I deeply regret that we will not be able to join you for this
auspicious occasion due to prior commitments, because we always enjoy
seeing you. This gathering should be all the more special with so
many family members in attendance - people we unfortunately rarely see.

We have really appreciated the opportunities we have had lately to
visit with you and to get reacquainted. You, and your siblings were
always held in high esteem in our family and it was a very special
treat when we were able to meet with any of you. I have been able to
learn more about our grandparents from you and Earl in particular,
and thank you for that.

Enjoy this special time with family and friends. We wish we were
able to join you for this special celebration. Hopefully we can see
you again within the year.

Happy Birthday!
