Sorry for your loss Doris and Larry.I remember when I used to go to your home with Larry and my x wife LaVerne back in the early 50's. I used to see your mother at church in Maplewood she would be serving at some function and always talked about my visits. LaVerne has Alzheimer's but is still at home God bless both of you.
