Not sure what to say?

Two weeks ago I found on my photos album a card that you sent me in December 1988 wishing me a nice holiday and where you told me that you was going back to dallas (where we met for first time). Also you sent me a same photo of this one that is here in your obituaries. I was sitting on my desk and I decided if I can find you in facebook or other social media to let you know that I still keep your photo and your card. But I just found that you passed away seven years ago. I feel really...

Legacy sent me an email today... to remind me of your passing... May 29, 22. Like I need to be reminded? It's a different world than the one you knew... don't think you would like it much. So many have joined you since 2015... You are remembered, you are missed.

Went by your headstone yesterday, cleared it from encroaching greenery.
Still catch myself thinking " oh i need to call Larry" , every now and then...with questions, current events, sewing machine ads, dachshund jokes, news of friends - the thought usually fades before even finished - but it still rises. hard to grasp its been 6 years.

cant believe how long its been... there has been a thousand things a month i wanted to pick up the phone and call you to talk to you about. you should still be here...

not a day goes by that you are not thought of.... you were so much a part of my story. you are wholeheartedly missed.

Larry, it still stuns me that you are gone. I miss you dearly and your daily posts. You left with such a strong faith and now, you play peacefully with both the lions and the lambs. God bless you and condolences to all that share your loss.

So very sorry, Sue and family.

you are missed by a lot of friends and family... still hard to believe you are gone.... i miss your messages on facebook...

my heartfelt sympathies to you all....no words can express how his passing has affected me, but I'm so very glad I was able to spend time with him before he passed away. Rest in peace my dear cousin
