Grady Lawrence Starnes

To Bunny my dear friend,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear brother. Although I didn't know him, your kind words at his passing showed him to be a wonderful, caring person whom I'm sure cared a great deal for you and your family. You and they are in my thoughts.

It's when you hear about something like this that your thoughts go into high gear and your recollections of times spent together during the formidable years come pouring back. I remember our days in high school and after that lake austin and SWT and beyond. Boy did we have the time of our lives together.

Larry surely is brightening heaven today. I hope each of his surviving family members gain...

Please accept my most sincere condolences to each family member for your loss. I feel a particular loss in the passing of Larry. Larry was a dear friend for many years from the 1970's on. Larry was introduced to me by my husband at the time (Bobby Wilder). Larry was a dear friend of Bobby's thru the years. We all enjoyed many fun times on the lakes of Austin and BBQ's and parties.
