Donna, Dave, Steve, Sharon and family:

Words won't quell the loss but I'm praying for you and your Dad. We'll all miss his smile and humor, his good sense, entertaining presence, and dedication to family. He contributed much in his time with you. I miss him as do we all and he's still that middle aged guy who made me laugh in my memory. Don't know whether to tear up or smile when I think about him this morning but I'll settle in on the latter. He's still plowing the road, this time to everlasting eternity, and his insurance was his faith. Larry will never be gone in my mind. Godspeed Larry. I'll have the pleasure of your memories anytime I need or wish. We all owe him a Thank You!!!

We will keep you and your family in our prays. Sharon and I have never made it to Florida.

Donna, David, Steve and family~I am so very sorry for your loss. During the 5 years we played music together Larry taught me more about entertaining and about country music than anyone I have ever worked with. It has always been my honor to share with people the I was a member of 'Larry Pennington and The Country Classics'. To know now that Larry is free from the pain and suffering of this world, I hope, brings you peace. Be well, love one another and know that I am praying for you during this time of grief ~ Steve Hersh
