Sorry to here about the passing of your husband Larry, we will be praying for you and your family.

I just found out about Larry's passing today from a neighbor. I wish I would've gotten to pay my respects. I will pray for strength for his family and and wife.

I am sorry for your loss of this wonderful Man. We will all miss him.
