I sure will miss rubbing Larry on the back as I entered the sanctuary after Sunday school. He would greet me with a smile. I've said over the past few months, that God seems to be taking a lot of the good ones from this wretched world we are living in. I guess God knew it was time for Larry to head on home so that he can help get things ready for Ms. Kay. My heart hurts for the family and for our church family, but at the same time, I am looking forward to joining all of our loved ones and friends in Heaven.
Love and prayers for you Ms. Kay, Dawn, Dylan, Kylie and Preacher Sean
