Larry was truly a great friend and worker...he will be missed by us all, but his leaving is only the beginning of a New and more wonderful life with our Lord Jesus then we could ever imagine. He is without Pain, and we know he will be watching over you all like a guardian angel.
Be comforted with your loving thoughts and memories of him, with him, and learning from him. He was one in a million and you were blessed to have him as a husband, father, grandfather, and we were blessed to be able to call him friend.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you always, and if there is anything we can do, Please don't hesitate to ask. The following days, weeks, will become a blur but don't hesitate to call on us in the future...we'll be there for you in any way possible. We love you Sharon, LJ, and James...
In loving thoughts
