My dad, Paul Shilling, was Larry´s Sunday School teacher when Larry was a young person at St. Paul´s Church. When he died in 2014, following the service, I walked my mother to the casket for our last goodbye. When I turned to go to the vehicles, Larry was standing in the back of the room, weeping. I weep today over his loss but rejoice that he is free, with a mind and body that are more alive today than ever before.
