Dear Aunt Mary, et al,
Uncle Larry was one of the kindest and sweetest men anywhere. He was a solid honest man you could trust. He loved his country, and he loved each of us like we were the only one. He will be missed. Peace to you Uncle Larry. Jack and the Douglas Keoughs

Dear Mary (my big sister), Kathy, Mary and John,
We are so sorry about Larry's passing. Here we are, every Foley cousin, aunt, and uncle but can't be with you. It makes us very sad when any family member passes to be so far away from all of you. Your Dad was a very kind man and that's what we remember of him. Our condolences to your family from California and we'll never forget our family card games every Saturday night. We sure miss them and Larry, too.

Uncle Jim

Dear Mary and Family,
I'm very sorry to you Mary and your family.
Let me tell you what a nice man Larry was. We always enjoyed him. I know he missed us when we moved to California. He enjoyed his garden and his poinsettias were gorgeous and the biggest I've ever seen.
