Dear Mrs. Lessard,
I am praying for Jesus to comfort you the way He has done for me in times of loss. I hope it brings a smile to you to know that Larry was a Godsend to my dad at NHC, and my whole family deeply appreciated his taking Dad under his wing. Such a kind man and such a dear smile! He will be missed by us and by all the staff and patients at NHC who had an opportunity to know him. Be at peace, as Larry is now rejoicing in the presence of Jesus. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Sincerely,
Margaret Richardson (Ken Badger's daughter)

Larry, for the short time that my family was privileged to know you, you became a bright spot in our days in the dining room at NHC. I will never forget how you looked after Dad during his stay, and I know in my heart that God brought us all together for those 4 months. I will miss your sense of humor and kind smile. Enjoy the peace and good health that you so richly deserve with Jesus. Love, Patty Kay (Rev Badger's daughter)
