Dear Daddy,
It has now been one month since you left us. You are home with Mom, celebrating her birthday with family and friends. I miss you both so much everyday. Wish I could say the pain of letting go is gone, but it's not. We al hold onto each other to make it thru.
I love you and know you and Mom are always watching over me, as well as all of the rest you've left behind. We were so blessed to have such loving parents to show us the way. Thank you both so much.

May our Lord Jesus Christ miraculously comfort you in this difficult time of great loss! As I recall Larry's knowledgeable, kind and gentle demeanor, I have no doubt about his faith in our Lord. As such, I am reminded of our Lords promise in 1st Thessalonians 4:13-14, that we don't worry "concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.
