Bonnie, you know how much I loved Larry and how much I have always enjoyed both yours and Larry's company as well as friendship. Knowing Larry since childhood I have always enjoyed his laugh. He was always there for me when I needed a carpenter, or plumber. He could do just about anything. I shall remember him always.
Bonnie, you and your family are in my prayers and know that I am here for you.
Love,

Bonnie, I am so sorry that you have lost your best friend. He truly was an angel and I appreciated everything he did for me and for Bill. Michael said to tell you he sends his love to you and your family too. Larry was a good friend to him as well. May God comfort you and your family. I know how hard this must be.
