Agnes and Family,
I worked at Norwich Utilities, when I read meters I used to stop by your house and have tea, after Wally retired. He called me Minnie. He was a good person and will be missed by all who new him. Take care my thoughts are with you.

Grandpa,
You had taken me into your family the first time you met me without a second look. I will miss your stories at the kitchen table, but I will enjoy retelling them to my three beautiful boys. Rest in Peace!

Grampa Larkin was a funny guy. And always knew how to make someone feel good. Even just to make their day better or to make them feel better about themselves. I likes all the little stories he told about "Back in my days". I will always remember him.

Dear Daddy...
It sure has been a long year hasn't it? I'm honored to have had the time to help you and mom through it. No regrets, remember? Now it's time for you to rest before you start your life again. I am comforted by the thoughts of you being with those you have missed the most through the years. You know that mom is in good hands with all of us, and as we all know, she's a "Riley", and is strong as the day is long. I hope you feel the same sense of calm and peace as I do knowing that you're fine now. You will be in my heart always. I love you... and dad......
Thank you for the years of "stories" you always had on hand. They have been some of the best times we had together, and as a family. With all my love forever, your baby aka Pest #4, Nancy xoxo

Dear Mrs Larkin and Family,
Life is so tender, so fragile, so very precious. My thoughts and sincere sympath are with all at this time.
God is our refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1)
I know how you all are feeling, as I lost my husband seven months ago.
The Lord will be there for you all, just call on Him. (My husband and I both worked with Wally) We just loved him. Wally was always there if you needed someone to talk to.

Dear Family: Please accept our sincere sympathy in the loss of Wallace. We remember him fondly and know he will be missed by all. He always had a smile and a good word for you.

Grampa......
I dont even know where to start. We all already miss you so much. I am so glad I had so many good times with you, and my children. We will always remember you and your sense of humor. I will miss seeing your little ant ears through your window when I leave your house, and hearing you call all of us by a foolish nick name you gave us, but I promise we will all take great care of gramma and we will all see you again some day. I love you so much
