Lisa and family, Ray and Lori. I recently learned of this sad news, and my thoughts send me back to our high school days. We lost track of eachother and time distanced us further. With deepest sympathy my thoughts are with you.

Lisa and family, I send my love and prayers at this time of Larry's transition. Our time on this earth is short and it is so hard to understand earthly death. Your grief is a private matter and you will survive even though you may not know how. Spirit is always with us and will guide us. My husband died years unexpectedly years ago and I felt deep grief. Through this expereince I have grown into the women I am today, strong, greatful and full of love. I was transformed with the grace of God who walks with us and works through us. If I can help in any way, let me know.
Blessings coming your way, Diane Banic

Dear Lisa,

For each hour of loneliness,
I wish you a day of comfort.
For each minute of grief,
A year of peace.
And for every tear,
A thousand reasons to smile.

Larry was a fun loving wonderful husband and Father and friend. I'll never forget all of the fun and laughs we had. I can't begin to know how much you will miss him.
I am so very sorry Lisa. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could be there with you.

love,
Diane

Larry was always one of those guys you wanted to be around because he would always brighten a gloomy day. He was just plain fun to be around. Larry still had his sense of humor and wit while he shared some of his last few days in Houston with us. He truely enjoyed life and thought the most of Lisa and his two prides of joy, Kristin and Kimmy. Debbi and I sure enjoyed our times in Charleston with the Cerny family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Cerny family.
