Larry was a decent, honorable man who always tried to do the right thing. I was honored to be his daughter-in-law for 16 years. His smile would light up the room, and his jokes made us all listen and laugh, even though we might have heard him tell those same jokes over and over! May you rest in God's peace, Larry.
We are thinking of you all! Uncle Larry was so much fun an full of life. I am sure those stories are being retold at the pearly gates of heaven.
Love you all!!
Teresa and Family,
We are sorry to learn about your dad. I have many great memories of your family during our childhood. We are praying for you and yours.
I am sorry for the death of your loved one. The Bible gives hope and comfort. -Romans 15:4. The Bible promises that soon we will be reunited with them in paradise on earth by means of the resurrection-Acts 24:15. Then we are promised that death will be gone forever-Revelation 21:4
Our thoughts and prayers with you all.
