There are so many memories of Larry and Marsha, I don´t know where to start. The trips, the volleyball, the card playing, the hunting, and just good times with great people. Larry and I were born the same day, so we called ourselves twins. He was one of the kindest, most helpful people that you could know. I have lost a good friend, but heaven has gained one of the best!
