Larry will be in my heart forever. I know Danielle, Jodi, and the kids are feeling such a great loss as most are. I know Larry is with other family in heaven laughing, dancing, cracking jokes, and talking British. He is now healthy and in Gods hands. Bless all those that mourn him and remember all the great times we had with him. When he talked British one of his favorite things to say was I dont know if I like that. I can still hear him saying. I love you so much Larry. Love Aunt Vic.
