To my cousins, Uncle Larry's Girls ~ Deb, Linn & Kris,
First, I'd like to say, I mourn along with you on your dad's passing! A good man is God's love, and I know he was that! A blessing to you 3 and everyone who knew him! I remember being a small child when I first knew him & have wonderful memories of his warmth to me every time I was together with him! That is rare..strength, humor, compassion, kindness, encouragement and characteristics of both his parents, Bernard & Mary. What wonderful parents our grandparents gave us!! We now must work harder to carry on such a legacy...our children need to know that love!!
Secondly, I am so sorry I am not able to be there with you all! You are VERY special to me and I truly am there in spirit. Please feel my arms around you when you need a strong shoulder. I am here. Please try to remember (& celebrate) both of your parents with smiles, laughter & prayers!

All my love, Cousin Kathy ❤
