What does one say to express their sympathy and their heart ace. I am so glad that I went to Florida and had a chance to visit with Larry shortly before he died. I enjoyed our talks, seeing his laughter. Larry, you are not forgotten. My kids speak of you often. We miss and love you. My heart goes out to Larry, Debbie, and family. I think of HEather raising three kids by herself. I think of Larry's beautiful children. I remember taking them down to the beach. We made a sand castle and put our feet in the water. I remember seeing little Larry holding his little girl, while enjoying his breakfast. His life was way too short. However, his accomplishments were great. He will always live on in our hearts, and through his children. My mom died 26 years ago and I can still see her loving smile, taste her cooking. I think of her and my Dad everyday. I know they are with God and are looking down on us. Sometimes, I talke to them. One day we too will join them. However, right now we live with the lost. However,will have their love and memories. One day we have the Kingdom of HEaven to look forward to, until then I miss you. I love you, Aunt Tammy

STILL MY SON even with no book...
So, I guess after a year this book just "goes away" unless someone pays to keep it going. I guess thats it then huh? Chances of someone writing in or even viewing this book fades away day by day. Let's face it, in the grand scheme of life, to most you were a chapter if anything at all. To those who you were the world to, books are insignificant. You know and we know what matters.
I know you thank your father for creating the site for you and I think it probably helps some people..
Well Larry,
There's not much I can say on here that you don't already know so I guess this book is really meant for the ones out there who don't know what to say, what to do, and want to show that they care. I just want everyone to know that they have been wonderful and we understand when they could not express their thoughts. "Larry is and will always be with us. Maybe not where we can touch him, but where he can touch all of us."
It's been a year...a year.. and all is better but still pretty raw. Things come to me at such odd times and it's all new again. And I know you must be there to see those times because they pass fairly easily and after the tears they leave a little less of a hole in my heart. But still just a little less. We love and miss your physical presence in our lives and that will never go away... but I feel you will always show an influence over our lives in some way. I hope we have the open minds and accepting hearts to see that. Until we are together, stay close my son.
With all of our love,
Mom and all of us.

Larry, we love you, and you will always be missed. You were much too young to leave us. Your 'dash' was larger in the very short 24 yrs, than many adults that I've known in their lifetimes. We are all proud of what you've achieved and accomplished, in those few adult years that you had. You grew into a man that all who knew you were proud. The deeper our pain, the deeper our love and our pain feels unbearable. That in itself reflects on you, and your 'dash'. I'm grateful for all the memories, there are to many to tell of. I clearly remember the day you explained to me, as I tip-toed in pain on a camping venture, what a sand spur was. The look on your face, when you told me, (You no higher than my waist, and me well into adulthood) that I should be wearing shoes! I remember you trying to tell me 'where to step' to get out of the mess I was in. But the look on your face, as you watched and directed me, as I found my way out, is unforgettable. Thank you, for so many memories, just too many to mention. Although I know, you will always be with us, and are watching over all of the ones you love, I know you will continue to help ease everyones pain, as you did for me back then. The day will come, we will all be with you again, beside each other. Till then, you will be deeply missed, and forever in our hearts.

Larry, you know how much we all love you and how it hurts us that we were not there to protect you. We will be holding you today once again and forever from this day on to never let you go again. You are still my "little" (didn't you hate that nickname once you weren't so little anymore?)
Mommy
Daddy, Teddy, Shane, Cody and Carissa are hurting real bad but we are trying to make peace with ourselves and it help to know you are in Gramp and Gram's arms in Heaven at God's side. Take good care of little Teddy. Maybe you can teach him how to play PS3. ;)
We love you honey and it looks like you got us all back to Florida sooner than planned. Guess you're still just as spoiled as ever aren't you? Always did get your way :D
