Diane, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. I wish I had been able to meet him, but I know you, so he must have been a terrific person. Please know you are loved and I'll be praying for you and yours at this time.

Dear Diane and Family: I don‘t know what to say at this time in your life of sorrow and pain, just time will heal. Larry was a good friend, listener and a patience man especially with me, when I lost John. He would get mad at me and in the next breath forgive me, with his smile. I will miss his sense of humor his “WHAT” saying and his little quirks. We don't know why God had taken Larry from us but I am sure he had other jobs for Larry to fulfill. Maybe someone needed a captain for their boat, or maybe a poker player (hope you have enough quarters), but whatever the job will be, you will get it done. Diane you are a very strong person, but if you every need someone to talk to, or just sit and listen I will be there for you. Diane and Family, you will be in my prayers and thoughts and may you find Peace. Also Larry, when you see John, tell him I love him. Love yea Larry,and Thank you for your friendship.
