RIP, Uncle Larry, I will never forget all the times you took me to Utah and watching you hold Simon and talking to him in chinese. I will always smile when I think of the Probe and Toyota! Go be with your wife and watch over us with a smile.


Do not stand at my grave and weep.I am not there. I do not sleep.I am a thousand winds that blow.I am the diamond glints on snow.I am the sunlight on ripened grain.I am the gentle autumn rain.When you awaken in the morning's hushI am the swift uplifting rushOf quiet birds in circled flight.I am the soft stars that shine at night.Do not stand at my grave and cry;I am not there. I did not die.
