Dear Helen,
May you and your loving family be blessed with the peace of knowing that Larry knew how much he was loved by the wonderful care he received.

Dear Helen, Jeff and all the Vanderhorst Family,

Helen, I have admired you and Larry from the first day I met you. I have always enjoyed talking and running into you and Larry at different times in my life, at the park, weddings, funerals, shopping, in the last few years in the neighborhood. Helen what Great Parents you two are to all of your kids. It is great to see what a great Life you and Larry had together.
Jeff and all your family, I always knew what a Great...

To the Vanderhorst family,

Thank you so much for the wonderful food you provided after Larry's memorial. You gave us all a place to exchange our memories. For many of us it was a "family" reunion. Please know that it was appreciated.

I have a fond memory of Larry and Helen's sense of humor in San Diego at the AA World Convention. I purchased a watch in Mexico because I thought it was a Rolex. Larry and Helen knew differently. From then on, they always asked me: "Do you know what time it is?" I thank you Larry for all the love you shared with me.

To Mrs. Vanderhorst, Pat, Jackie, Kathy, Nancy, Mike and Jeff (and, of course, your families). When I saw that Mr Vanderhorst (that's how we addressed him) died and read the beautiful obituary I was overcome with profound nostalgia. I remember so well the time that your family lived across the street from my family on Hanover Street. And I remember when your folks moved to Foredale but were still south-enders. I would often see your dad out jogging or walking, hand-in-hand, with your mom....

One of the last of the great old-timers has passed the torch to a new generation. He taught us to share your heart and look for the heart in others.

Lauren and Family
I am sorry for your loss and you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jill
