Brenda and family,

My heartfelt sorry and love is with each of you. I was very sad to hear about Larry. While he is gone from here on this earth from us he will still always be in our hearts.
I will always remember him and hold him near. He bought much laughter and a warmth inside your heart.
Gabriel sends his love and prayers.
Stay strong and let God bring you comfort.

Dear Brenda,
My memories are few, but are precious and sweet. Our one trip together was wonderful! You and Larry made that experience the best ever. His love for Jesus Christ is what I love most about him, as well as his desire to share the truth with others. He lived it. I will remember that always about him. Kevin loves your family. Larry has been a blessing to him. Be assured that our hearts are hurting for you and the children, but rejoicing that Larry is in perfection at the feet of Jesus. We pray for the hurt to ease. Know that we will never forget him. We love you!

Brenda,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Certainly our only consolation is that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Your family has been long been a part of mine, via Dia and Dionna, so if you need ANYTHING, I'm only phone call away. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
