So sorry for your loss. So many good memories of all the Cannon family and Gladys for a long time too. Larry was humorous, kind, and loving. I remember him always calling my Dad, "Stoutsie". I bet my mom was glad to see him. Prayers for all of you. May God comfort you and wrap you in His love and peace that passes all understanding.
