Dear Larry & family;

So sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure that the Lord will lift you up in the days to come.

We were planning to come to the visitation, but due the weather, we felt that we should stay at home.

We will keep you and your family in our prayers.

Dear Larry, Monte and family:
Dean and I were very saddened to hear about Margie's death. We have many fond memories of Margie as our boys grew up together when we lived in Hutchinson. Their grade school years including soccer, baseball, and scouting will be remembered. Margie was a wonderful person who always found time in her busy schedule to volunteer for many activities. We always admired her for that--how she ever found time to do all she did!! We are glad that Monte and Josh pledged Pi Kappa Phi together at K-State and we got to see you both through the college years. And we are glad they have remained friends and stay in touch with each other. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Margie was a wonderful person and she will be missed by all.

I am stunned and silenced to hear this. Meeting Margie and Larry at our family reunions and her help on everything was greatly appreciated. I hope Larry and the family will be fine and my condolences.
