Uncle Larry, we will miss u dearly! But there is someone that has been waiting for you for almost 8 months, and that is you wife of many years. You know i had many good talks with you when you were in your right mind and they were good talks, but i also remember the talk i had with you about 1 or 2 weeks ago at the nursing home and i talked about all the good times you and your family had, and as i was saying these things to you you never responded to me until i talked about your wife! i told you it was ok shes waiting for you! It's very sad for me to say these thing because i love the both of you and it hard to think that i will never see either one of you again! I wipe my tears away as i write this and be strong for my family. I Love all of you forever and always!!!!!! Mrs Nakita fields
