Dear Lou and Family,
I was saddened today to read of Larry's passing. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. It seems like just yesterday that we made our "Massachusetts" connection when we met at CPE. I'll always remember all the laughs we had. May God give you strength and courage to endure your loss.
Love,
Kerry
