Dearest Larry and all your family,
Almost one year has passed and hardly been a day that I haven't thought about all of you'all. My Father left me ten weeks ago and now I too can feel the despair you must feel. I also know God was waiting on him just as well as Larry. Oh boy, if they get with each other in Heaven that will be one rocking party. I think of you on this Father's Day because you were a wonderful person and father figure to my children as well as yours. You were so kind and generous to everyone you knew. Always a gentleman to me. God Bless you and your family on this Father's Day. You will always be in our hearts.
Love and Peace, Wanda, Tamara, Tellis, Toshika and Tangela Buchanan

Family and Friends,
I saw the poem that I added and thought that's something my Happy Pappy would say...

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To the Reddick Family
I'm sorrow to hear of Larry'a passing and know that he is now in a better place with the Lord. I worked with him for several years at LRMC in the 90's and will miss a very caring person. We are reminded that the way of man leads through the grave, and they who walk with the Master here, shall not tarry in the grave, but shall be led gently on, into the land of light and beauty. Our prayes are with you.

I'm sorry to see that Larry has passed away. Back in the 1970's when I worked in the ER with Larry we all looked forward to his presence. He kept us entertained and made working in the ER less stressful. He can now triage in heaven. I'm sure he will be missed by many.
