    Mom, I know that words are inadequate at a time like this but I wanted you to know how very sorry we are for your loss. The loss of a spouse is a tragic event and we couldn't know the pain and suffering you are experiencing. It is times like this that our faith is put to the test. We know that we must accept his passing and give thanks for the wonderful life he lived and the wonderful life that he gave you the past 28 years. I know how much Larry loved you and you have to know that his love will always be with you especially at this difficult time. As sad as it will be, we will always have the memory of him to hold in our hearts. We send all our love and support. Love, Jerry, Allyson and Skylar

    Dear dear Uncle Larry, may you be at peace. Dear Aunt Rosemary, I really enjoyed spending time with you and Uncle Larry last summer when you joined us at Carolina Beach. I have uploaded some photos from that time to this website--I hope you like them. May you remember only the wonderful things that make you smile (and maybe cry too, but may those be tears of joy), such as as how wonderful he was to you as a husband, and how sweet he was to the rest of us. That's how I will always remember Uncle Larry: sweet and kind. I love you very much! Sending you all my love and strength, and wishing I could be there to hug you tight. Sincerely yours, Jacqui

    Dear Rose, Always remember, someone so special,can never be forgotten. Larry will always be with us in our hearts and memories. He loved you so and I love him for giving you such joy for 28 years! It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. We all will miss Larry. He was a special man, your special man, and I know he will always be close in your heart! I love you, Rainey
