Carol,
It is amazing how some people are destined to touch our souls forever. You and Larry are such people. The many years spent together in Christmas distribution and the holiday adoption, are etched forever in my heart. Those life transforming acts of kindness spiced with the special brand of Tully humor are part of what makes knowing you such a privilege.
Larry, though physically not present, is forever in our hearts and is now in perfect peace.
You are in my thoughts and prayers each day.

Carol,
We were so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. He was a great guy to work for and a good friend. I will always remember the day you called work to see if he was alright, as he had hung the American Flag up, upside down. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Carol!
I have always viewed Larry as one of the founding fathers of our Elks Lodge. He was one of the 1st Elks I met prior to joining our lodge. He always made visitors feel at home. He will be missed for so many reasons. Please know that Priscilla and I are thinking and praying for you. If there is anything we can do please let us know. May Larry rest in peace, may God Bless and comfort you. Joel & Priscilla Larkin
