Ms. Laura and Family,



May God continue to uplift your loved ones to a safe place, calling them home to be with Him and to continue to soften your heart. You were always there for my family of what was to come and I thank you for the love you give wholeheartedly. "We, the Wainright family" love you Ms. Laura!"



It is a celebration of Larry's life. I remember him well from the high rises to the low rises and he was definitely a watchman over all of us showing and expressing Love unconditionally just by being there because he didn't say much, however his presence was good enough for me. I will continue to praise him in spirit.



"Blessings and Comfort" to you Ms. Laura in your time of witnessing and acknowling the transformation of God's love for His Children.



Let go and let God be with you All, always and forever.



Amen.

(Marvine's #6).

So do not fear, for the Lord is with you, do not be dismayed, for God will strengthen you and help you get through at a time like this. Stay prayerful. Sorry I can`t be there for you but you are in my prayers.
