Comments There are no words to say how sorry we are for your loss. It is so hard to understand why someone like Larry, so well liked, such a good family man and soneone with so " much left to do, has to be taken so soon. The music chosen for the funeral and your preachers words, especially his beautiful prayer, reminded us that things happen down here that we will never understand. Only "Farther Along" and 'In His Time' will we know the reason why. Rhonda and I feel blessed to have you and your family as friends and neigbors and we are here to help you in any way we can. We will truly miss him.
