To The Doyle Family
I worked with Larry at the post office for many years. He would always be laughing and smiling. We so missed him once he left here. We all here are so VERY sorry to hear about him passing away. God Bless You All, Larry loved his family very much. Spoke of them often. Our most sincere sympathy. June Smith and the Registry Boston, GMF.

The tears have all been shed now
We'll say our last goodbyes
His soul's been blessed
Soon laid to rest
And it's now they feel all alone

He was more than just an Uncle
A teacher, their best friend
He can still be heard
In the songs they shared

As boys he'd take them playing
Try-outs, practice and games
And he showed them things
Not known to kings
It’s the secrets between the three

They thought he'd live forever
He seemed so big and strong
But the years roll by
And the minutes flew
For an Uncle and his nephews

And suddenly when it happened
There was so much left unsaid
No second chance
To tell him thanks
For everything he's done

They never will forget him
For he made them "Who they are"
Though he may be gone
Memories linger on
And They’ll miss him, He was their UN’


and we will all miss him too...........

Lawrence and I had alot of fun together at St. Ann's. He could always make me laugh and was always so nice to be around. It's not surprising he grew to be such a wonderful man. My condolences to the Doyle family.

On June 17, 2009 I had my heart ripped out in one quick second. I have lost my father, bestfriend and a brother. Honestly this is the worst thing that could happen to me in life, there is nothing that could make me feel worse than I do now. I have a huge hole in my heart that will never be able to heal for the rest of my life. He was only 43 years old this was not his time to go he had so much more life to live. The type of life has lead to this point is one in which God should be thanking him by letting him enjoy more life on earth not take it away. I'm thinking this is all just just big nightmare. I just think tommorrow my mother will call me and tell me UN is doing better and let me know how he is doing with her day to day update.. Then I will go up and and hang out with him through the night like always! Just holding his hand, talking to him and just locking eyes with him and just letting him know I love him. He is without question the greatest person I have ever known or will know in life. I have been blessed and honored to have spent my 24 years of life with UN. He would do anything for me, my family or his friends becuase that was the type of guy he was, he didn't look for anything in return. All he was thinking about was making sure that person he was helping got what they were looking for. I know he got all our backs from heaven so we are well protected from the big guy in the sky Larry Doyle. The last words I heard Larry speak was that he loved me and I LOVE you UN. Thanks for always being there for me. You were the absolute best and I can't wait to see you again in our next life together.

Love You Un
Marty

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Larry was a great person who always treated people right. I worked with Larry in the Post Office in Boston and he was well liked by all of his employees.

Larry had a great sense of humor and it is so unfortunate that his life was cut so short due to his medical conditions. Larry will long be remembered for his honesty and sincerity and how he cared about people. I was glad to have him as a friend. May he rest in peace.
