As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. Be comforted too with the promise from God at Psalms 37:9-11, 29 that will one day soon, become a reality.

To the the family of Larry's, Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
I knew Larry from school a long time ago, and always remembered him working on that car of his ( a gold buick/cutless supreme ) at his parents, with his brother ( Boo ) hanging out at the park, and his family being a tight knit crew! " A friend loves at all times, a brother is born for adversity." Prov. 17:17 Sherry B./Tanaia G.

We remember Larry, he had a laid back sense of humor, always smiling, and working on that car of his ( gold buick/cutless supreme)! His brother Boo & his GF (Shelly @ the time) always asking where you going & sisters keeping you in line.
We hope your family will find some peace, in your time of sorrow.
"For all have sinned, and come short of the Glory of God;"
Romans 3:23 Tanaiya G.
