Not sure what to say?

Colleen,
You, Max and Lauren (and Larry) have my love and know my prayers are with you.
Miss him

I never knew what Larry would say but it was always funny. He was great at a party because it was never dull.He had a great voice, great smile and all of us who knew him will miss him. St. Peter is happy now. Mom Fitzsimons

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My heart goes out to the family.

Colleen, I'm so very sorry I couldn't make it. I was their in soul, if not in body.
I will continue to pray for you and your children.
Marilyn Mazza

Always,

It starts when the phone rings. I hear a loud laugh and the voice says...It's Larry. I say no kidding, who else could it be with that laugh. The conversation goes the whole gambit from talking about the old days in Detroit to the vollyball games on the beach in Manhattan Beach.
Wow what a ride we have taken over the years. We have dont it all, good and bad. We did it all to the fullest. I know how much you love Lauren, Max and (Saint) Colleen. I hope it is true that we will all be...

Even though too many years passed since I played with Larry I was never far away, in my mind, from the friendship we shared. Larry and Colleen were a couple of the big reasons that Marianne and I made the move to California in 1977 and I sure have a lot of wonderfull memmories of our friendship. Collen, Lauren and Max I can only say that I am deeply sorry for your loss.
