We've known Larry for the six years we've lived in the park. He was a very nice man and if you needed anything he was there for you. He will be missed. May God bless his family.

Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.
His laughter, his tears and his joys
Will remain with me for the rest of my life.
Rest in peace, my love.
Thank you for allowing me to be your wife.
