Hello Gloria and family. My heart is grieved at the news of Laron's home going. You know that you two were among my favorite "class of '68 couples". It is so good to see lovers weather storms and yet remain steadfast through it all, until the end. Gloria, you and Laron always showed a lot of love and respect for each other. You had a public relationship that inspired me and I'm sure others too, to strive for a love like that. I smile as I remember the class reunion lunch at your place. Laron, you and the children all working together to serve us. The atmosphere and food was great.
Be strong in your faith. Know that God is good and that He will be there for you in your darkest and loneliest hours. You know...the time when family and friends have moved on and you are alone to think about better days; rememberence of a lifetime love consumes your mind, heart and soul. Please know that you have been and will continue to be lifted up in my prayers.

I apologize for the delay, I got the word late.

May God Bless each and everyone of you who has felt the loss of Laron.
Just know that he is at home with his Lord and Personnel Savior and just as he was known to give God all the praise he is sing and shouting right now.
So in your time of sorrow just know that Laron kept his eyes on the sparrow.

Gloria, my prayers are with you and your entire family. Laron will be missed. You've lost a husband and the children a father. But you know God , and you know he will meet your needs as well as be there for you. But he's with the father now. All has been forgiven. Remember to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. God Bless You. Love you Veronica
