Mike and Family,
We are so sincerely sorry for your loss. Larry was an amazing person with a kind heart. He always had a way of making us smile. We will always remember the good times we shared at family gatherings. It has been a tough few years with the loss of Patrick and Lucy, and we are terribly sorry for these hardships you've had to endure. We're sorry to say that we won't be able to attend the funeral service, but know that our thoughts are with all of you, and that you all still remain like family to us. May Larry rest in peace.
Love,
