It has been 2 weeks since you went home to see Mother and Don and the Lord. I miss you with all my heart but I know that you are smiling and laughing with our loved ones. You will always be in my heart and I will cherish all our childhood, teenager years and adult years as brother and sister. Love you, Susie

I attended Frayser Baptist as a teenager and knew Larry then. He was so much fun to be around and I have a lot of pleasant memories of our experiences together. I am so sorry that your family is having to go through this journey of grief again, but I pray that you will choose to draw close to the ONE and ONLY SAVIOR and COMFORTER, the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone brings meaning and purpose to this life and hope for eternity. Enjoy His forgiveness, rest in His promises, trust His Love. You will be in my heart and prayers.
