Rob and Kim,
I'm so sorry to hear about Uncle Larry's passing. Although I haven't seen him in a long time he has always stayed in my thoughts. He was the uncle that as a little kid when I talked to him he really listened to what myself & the other kids had to say, I loved and looked up to him for that. I don't have to tell ya'll he was a good man, he'd do anything he could if you needed him without ever thinking twice about it.
Your both in my thoughts and prayers, stay strong I know this is a very hard time for you both.
With much love,
your cousin,
Robin (Hiott) Lynch

The love we have for you is greater than words can ever express and unshakable. We weren't ready to let you go, but God had a greater purpose for you in Heaven. Our hearts are broken and our tears are uncountable, but we know you are no longer in pain and that we can rejoice in knowing we will soon see you again and one day be reunited. Until then, RIP and go with God. We love you now and always. James, Joanne and Joanna
