We will all miss Larry.



He was a very gentle person.



I really enjoyed the times we had when we went out for lunch at work. They were always filled with fun and laughter.

Mona, Larry's sense of humor and kindness will be missed by all.



Faith

When you have come to the edge of all the light you know,

And are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,

Faith is knowing one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly.



God Bless
