To Sue and Betsy and the rest of the Larkin Family: I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed talking with your Dad whenever he was around. He always made me laugh and his face would light up as he told his tales! He was one of the most charismatic people I have ever met and he will be missed.
Lots of love! Dawn
