You never really know how much you miss someone or how much you care about someone until they are gone.He was like a father to me and he and my grandmohter were someone I could go to when I needed something. I am still mad at myself for not getting to say anything to them before their passing and I don't think I ever will. There is not a day that goes by and I don't think of them, I love you Larry.
Your goddaughter,
