My sympathy to Angie, Tim, Jenny, Bob and all the family. Such a shock to all of you. He was such a kind, gentle and humble man. You are all in my prayers. He is back with your mom. May they both Rest in Peace.
Prayers for all!
I am so sorry to hear of the death of Larry. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
