Sissy britches,
You know I love you and you are my favorite sister. I miss sending Andy seeds for his birthday. I think of him when I feed the birds. He would be thrilled we saw our first hummingbird in the front yard last week! Love you, Marcella.

Dear Susan, Beth, J.P., Peg, Phil, Vivian...and all those that knew and love Larry:

In your depth of sorrow...just try to imagine how Larry must have felt as he was handed "The Key", and the gates opened for him...and, he saw...God's face. Something each of us look forward to.

God has His own plans for us mere mortal's. He knows when He needs us, more than we're needed here. He must've needed someone special to help tend to the flowers...walk and talk and play with the critters...and do all the good things in nature Larry so enjoyed.

While he's havin' the time of his life, you'll think of him and feel him with you, as you go about your daily routines...we all will.

Time will ease the pain of loss, but...time can never erase the good memories.

Stop and smell the roses. Larry would like that, I'm sure.

With love from the family & critters in Ney.

God bless!

To Susan and family,
So sorry for your loss. May your faith and precious memories bring you comfort. Andy may not have made it to Assisi but he is among Saints Francis, Clare and all those early Franciscans so he knows the heart of Assisi close-up. Peace and blessings,

To the family of Larry Anderson, May you have comfort in knowing that God will wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more,neither will mouring nor outcry nor pain be anymore.The former things have passed away.

I will miss my fellow animal lover. He was a gentle man with a love of nature and all animals. I will miss you Andy but will think of you when I feed birds, stray cats, and the midnight opossums.
