Juanita, my heart goes out to you during this time of sadness. Although we have never met, I feel like I know you just from hearing Larry talk about you. He left no doubt about his love for you and his family. The thing I remember most about Larry from our elementary school days was his smile and how he loved to tease. He was a great classmate and a great friend. Praying God wraps his arms around you and give you peace.
