Kiss them all for me. Love, Laura Jo

Uncle Larry, I am a better man for having known you.

Thank you Uncle Larry for all that you stood for in our lives. You gave from your heart and made it all so personal. You tried to show us integrity, commitment, honesty, and love for family. You are so missed already.
Be at peace.
