MaryLou and family,
Sorry to hear of Larry's passing. I know he will be missed. He truly showed us what doing the Lord's work is all about. He had such a strong faith and it was admired by many. May you find peace during this time of loss.

Larry's death is a great loss. I admired him greatly for the strength of his faith and never-ending desire to make this world a better place. He never failed to love & forgive. He was a peacemaker always. I am so sorry for your loss. But I believe Larry is now at peace eternally with his God.
