Judy and Family:
I am sorry to hear about our loss.
Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
Since I've moved so far away from everyone, no one calls. I found out about Larry through this internet site.
Our condolences.
He will be joining our other SILA friends - Nick, Ren, and the others we have lost to that Sila up there.
I guess they'll be waiting for us when our turn comes.
God Bless you all.
Henry Lozano,Jr.
