Lee Ann Please know you have my condolences. I don't know if knew Larry or just you. Lori, Liz & Karen are my girls in case that helps you remember me. I think I saw you at Joann Fabrics. It's difficult to have loved ones pass. It looks like you would have celebrated your 48th next June. I went to school at Downs with some Whitlocks but do not remember knowing that Larry was related.
If things ever slow down now for you, my phone # is (309)829-6545. I cannot take away your pain but can listen if you want to talk. Ruth Hargis
