Dear Hannah and family, words cannot even begin to express my sorrow when I received the message from Eddie Williams about the passing of My dear friend Larry. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. I am so glad I got to see Larry on my visit last year. You don't how much I want to be there with you for the service, but this virus thing it's not possible. I remember when Larry brought you to the house for Jan and I to meet you, we fell in love with you. We were so happy you were married. Although it is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow. May looking back at all the wonderful memories and good times will bring you comfort in the days to come. Right after Eddie sent the message I found a bunch photographs of the 6 of us having great fun together. Oh what wonderful memories. Again my thoughts and prayers are with you. All my love , Charles, Lakeland Florida.
