To My Brother-In-Law Chris and the entire Monroe Family.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes feeling sorrow for all of you but somehow the corners of mouth want to smile. I am reminicing of the many, many, laughs that I shared with Larry. He would visit Carla and Chris often in Bonnet Shores, nearly every weekend. As always, Manny and Mingo were by his side acting as his personal security guards. Larry and Chris would go to the pond and dig littlenecks. I was privelaged to await their return and enjoy the generous bounty. I will think of Larry with love and laughter in my heart because that is what he gave me. His memory will never be far away because of all of you his children he will live on.

I love you all.
