Although, Butch and I hadn´t seen Larry for a few years, our love never wavered. Larry was a brother to both of us beginning in high school, from us skipping school together (me getting caught) and keeping a keen eye on him because he was dating my sister. She was truly the love of his life until The Lord took him home. Larry was a man of faith that loved The Lord and now with his Jesus, face to face. What a great reunion there has been. Until we meet again my brother around The Fathers Throne. My deepest and sincere condolences to Sandi and family.
