" You hold a special place in my heart and will forever miss you. I know my dad was one of many people waiting to greet you, so tell him I love and miss him and step on his toe for me... I know I will see you again someday, so until then, take care of each other and I love you!! P.S I have always puckered my lips Trisha Skaggs - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Uncle Larry, Our time with you seems to have been much shorter than we had expected, but " sadly we don't get to plan our journey home. I guess sometimes the GREAT ONES are needed for a much bigger purpose that those of us left behind just don't really understand right now. I do have a great sense of peace in my heart knowing that I now have you too, watching over me and those that I love. You are truely loved and will be greatly missed by each and every person who was BLESSED to have you in their life. Until we meet again... I love you!
