Mary,
My sincere condolences in the passing of Larry. He was a good friend of mine at the Elks Club for a long period of time. I had missed seeing him for the last month or so and did not know that he was sick. I am so sorry that I was not able to attend the funeral . MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU through this difficult time.

Uncle Larry, I remember your laugh and your hugs the most. As a kid I can remember the long anticipation and excitement before coming to visit you each summer. I would get so exited and tell all my friends about how you basically lived in the woods on a mountain and about my time spent there with you. Your home had so much warmth and it brought me a lot of joy to come see you. I can't recall a time that we showed up and you were not in your chair. The chair that you once let my daughter climb up into and sit in your lap, while I watched her smile and look up at you with the same admiration that I had when I was just as small. She kept taking the remote from you and played keep away with you while you laughed at her. You were always so loving and kind to me, except when you would yell at me for non stop running around the couch driving the dog crazy and making you crazy. I remember spending Christmas with you, watching football, and there are many other memories with you that I will cherish. I love your kind heart and I will miss you. I love you so much. Love Heather.
I love you, Larry. Someday Jesus will take my hand as He did yours yesterday and we will be together again for eternity.
