I have thought many times of the fun times my cousin Larry and I had on the farm and Iola Kansas. I am in Flora now retired and have often thought of Larry. So sorry to hear about your loss, it sounds like he passed on too young. I wish we could´ve gotten together earlier.

Dear Poppop,
I love you and miss you so much! I cried for weeks and weeks without a word to anyone, but I realized that I know you are in a better place. *Free of pain and heartache.* But I want you to know that you are missed very much and will NEVER be forgotten. I have regrets that I didn't spend more time with you, but there really wasn't any way I could. I hope you can forgive me. Give Jesus a big hug for me please =) You're the sweetest Grandpa I could have ever asked for. I'm glad that I was fortunate to have known you. I love youLove Your Granddaughter,
Brittany

Nancy,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Larry, prayers are being sent your way for comfort. Sending prayers also to Mark, Cody, and Denise. My memories are from long ago, way back when I babysat the kids, Larry helped (pretty much dictated) me with a paper I had to write for school
and I got an A, it was on how gum is made, and I remember going to your wedding, oh so long age where does the time go.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.
