Dear Mrs. Brannelly and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was a great classmate at St Patrick's. I can still picture him in a slightly wrinkled white shirt and a slightly off-kilter green plaid tie, explaining an electric circuit board with jack carrano at the science fair (which he always won) in the school basement. He was a really good kid.
