Dear Bobbi, Christine, Larry and family,
It is with such sorrow that I write you. Cousin Mary called to let us know of Larry's passing and we were so sad to hear this.
Remembering our visits and when our children were small brings back wonderful memories.
There are no words I can say that will lessen your pain and loss; only time helps ease this.
Larry is gone, but will never be forgotten as he will forever be in our, as well as your, thoughts and memories.
Please know you are all in our thoughts and daily prayers.
In love and sadness,
John and Carol Grace
