Uncle Larry, I will miss your quiet presence so much in our lives. However, I appreciate the lessons you have taught me throughout the years: the quiet ones always have the most to say; there are many, many places to hide water balloons (I'll admit, this was a shared lesson with several others); and always choose the right-sized trampoline when performing tricks in front of children. These are the things I choose to remember, plus many more--and somehow, I think you'd appreciate that. I will miss you forever but I have a lot of stories to share, so you'll never be far. Love you!

Uncle Larry,
You will never be forgotten and forever missed. You were wise beyond words. You loved us all so much and asked for so little in return. When you left us we all lost a little part of us, but knowing you gave us all a little something. RIP.
Love Bug.

To the Berry Family and Friends... although your loved one is no longer physically present they are always in your heart. To let go of them is not letting go of their memories. So take heart and feel the lost one is no longer lost to you but within you for as long as you live. May you always feel his love. My prayers are with you Rita...Myra
