We are sorry for your loss. The Ohland family has been a part of my life since childhood.I remember the greyhounds and Lloyd letting me walk them and going to the races with them. We shared one of grandma's chocolate cakes, we each ate half. They were so generous to our kids sharing their pool and freezer of ice cream. They had a heart of gold and we were fortunate to have them as friends. We also saw their kids born and raised. God,s blessings to you as a family.
