Dear Deb, I have just learned of Larry's death. I know that the pain that you and your family are feeling is unbearable. I pray that God will give you the strength to endure this most difficult time. While I did not really know your Larry, I was able to see how very much you adored one another when both you attended functions through Newington Elementary. How blessed you both were to have found one another. You were true soul mates.
We moved to Georgia almost two years ago so I cannot come to see you but I do want you to know that my thoughts and my prayers are with you. Carolyn Daniel

Larry was an uplifting kind of person who had great respect for his fellow man. Deb and family, my sincerest sympathy for your loss. May God's blessing of peace be with you. John and Kathy

Deb, Skip and I are so saddened by the death of Larry. Losing the one who loved you unconditionally, the one who was your greatest fan, the one who could make you feel safe, is a powerful and painful loss. The only help is the knowledge he is making Heaven an even sweeter place and is now receiving joy far beyond our understanding. You will find God's strength is sufficient to meet all your needs, especially the need for comfort and peace. Just rely on Him and admit your weakness. Skip and I will keep you close in our thoughts and lift you up in prayer. Love, Irene
