Larsen Family,
I just felt a tap on my shoulder. I thought "hey" I haven't heard from Bill in a while. I'm sorry for your loss. Bill and I would always have a good chat while I would cut his hair. My heartfelt sympathy to you, his family during this time of grief.

Bill's Barber,

Larsen Family,

So sorry to learn of the loss of your Husband, Dad and Grandfather. He is a great man. I still remember how much fun we had on our trip to Provo so many years ago.

All our love and prayers,

Will miss you greatly. Thank you for the impressions you've made on all of us.

- Invictus -

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

- William Ernest Henley
