Dear Emily, Ann & Family,
We were shocked & deeply saddened to hear the news of Larry's passing. Still can't believe Larry's gone. Have thought of you both many times. Also, did try to contact you, but numbers were disconnected, no answering machine and once I left a message with someone at the Cape and just last week left a message at the Cape. Again no words can express how we feel. He will always be remembered as a wonderful Man, my first cousin and will be missed. Take care of your selves and remember all the good times. Love, Joni & Joseph 718-969-0823
