Dear Marie,
I missed you guys at the Cockerham reunion and was sad to hear that Larry was sick. Now I am heartbroken to hear of Larry's passing. I learned of the sad news during a phone call with Dad last night. He was such a pleasant guy and one of my favorite cousins. Please know that he is in good company now with Heavenly Father and having a great reunion with his mom, dad, and sister. I know that he was very proud of his wonderful family. I love all of you.
