    Dear Lib....I did not know until today (7/21/2010) that Larry had gone to be with the Lord. I am so so sorry for your loss. I will always remember our square dance club at Cornerville and how much fun we had. He was always the life of the party. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours as you go thru the beginning of this grieving process. He will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him. Hugs to you.

    What can than I say that has not been mentioned. I cherish the times we spent together at the area, working, and goofing around Halloween. He demanded respect, but it was given back,to some who had never been given any. Education was important to him, and I was so proud of his graduation.Larry was one of the finest men I know and I was prevledged to know him and call him my friend. Randy, I love you like a brother. Lib you are my second mother, and I love and appreciate you for that.You are a strong, wonderful woman, but don't forget to lean on your friends. I love you guys.

    Aunt Lib, Randy and family,
    My Uncle Larry was such an extraordinary person. He was always smiling and so upbeat. Never mad at anyone. I remember when I was little and played outside with him. We had some good times. I will certainly miss him so much. I know that all of you were blessed to have him in your lives and he lived to
    make all of you happy. I know that Heaven is happy since he came home to them. I will miss him but have many happy memories of him.
    Love,
    Mary

    We are so sorry for your loss and our prayers will be you all through this time and afterwards. Larry is in a better place with Jesus and in no pain and suffering there. We will all reunite with him someday. God Bless you all and we both love you all very much.
  46. Wanda Reed
    Lib, Randy and family, I am so very sad because my Uncle Larry is gone but I have to be comforted in knowing he is with Jesus and Daddy. When I sent him that card, you said he had just recently wondered if he had made a difference in anyone's life and that was certainly an understatement because I know that me and my kids loved him with all our hearts. So now that he is no longer in pain, please know we are praying and are here for you if you need anything. He left us with many memories to treasure.
  47. Kay Brown
    Lib, Randy & family, we are going to miss Uncle Larry so much. To say we loved him is a understatement. He was a great man. May God bless you at this time. We love you all.
