To my Brother Larry,

We will miss you always and you will always be in our hearts, just like we told you Tuesday and everyday before that. I remember when you would take me with you fishing in Michigan and you would stay for hours and I would be crying to go back to the cottage, but I'm glad you didn't give in to me, because that was time I really do cherish now that you are gone, I was able to spend time with you doing what you loved most in the world and that was Fishing. I was so happy when you let me advance to a lure instead of a bobber, that was so boring but casting was the greatest, and that is coming from a girl your sister.

Bye Lar we will miss you immensely.

Love
Janet and Family XOXOXOXOXOXOXO
