Shirley, wish we had known you and Larry longer. It was good to meet someone from the Panhandle of Texas! (Perryton & Sunray aren't very far apart). We even shared some of the same friends from that area and we know where the Amarillo Beauty School is located that he attended. IT IS A SMALL WORLD :-) :-) Larry was a wonderful person to have as a friend. Dwain loved sharing fishing stories with him! But his love for the Lord was what really brought the four of us together when we worshipped together in Lumberton. He was such an inspiration with his positive attitude and he was a good song leader too! Shirley, you are in our thoughts and prayers, much love, Syble & Dwain
