Dear Irene, Jean, & Ben,
Frank Izzo e-mailed me and told me about Larry. Jerry & I are so sorry. It must have been quite a shock. Please know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers. God be with you.

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Ms Irene
Words can not express my feelings for you at this time of your utmost loss. I remember Larry as the handsome young man I knew as a child, our families did not get togethr often but when we did I remember admiring your son. Now as an adult, having had many loses of my own, I know the hurt and pain you are feeling.
Jean, I am sorry we never met, my thoughts and prayers go to you and your precious son, Ben. May you find peace and comfort from your loving friends and relatives.
Sincerely,
Sheila Soul

Dear Jean,
I just learned of Larry's passing. My family's prayers and intentions are with you and Ben in this time of grief. Larry was a kind friend to the children of Woodburn Hill Farm.
pax tecum,
