Peggy and Family: Wanting you all to know that I am thinking of you...feeling so sad for the loss of a wonderful person. Am remembering years ago when my kids were at Mtn. Park school and all the fun times we had there. You all were very much a part of that...and always giving your most to that community, and Larry was a wonderful and positive presence there. Within the past two years, since Dale opened the Mitchell River Store, I came to know Larry, and to appreciate him so very much. He was there...always with a smile to brighten any day. He made all feel special...made us smile and laugh....what a wonderful attribute! We need more Larrys in the world!! I am so grateful to have known him...and will miss him as so very many others.
