Dear
Aunt Mary Alice, Gary and Kelly,
I was so sad to hear of Uncle Larry's death. I know he had been sick
for a long time, but I know from experience that doesn't make his loss
any easier. Because I have not seen Uncle Larry much in quite a few
years, I will always have a memory of him when he was young and
healthy. Because he was not really that much older than me, I remember
him being a lot of fun to be around. I will keep all of you in my
thoughts and prayers today as you say goodbye for a little while. Love
to all of you,
