Dear Mary and family, I am still under shock from the message that Larry passed away. Guess at our age we imagine that life should just go on and on. I have been thinking of you and praying for your comfort and also for guidance. Hang on to all those good memories and fun times. Blessings. Marianne Earhart Banks
