    Getting to know Larry during the last few months has been such a blessing. There were times when I know he was in pain but he always smiled and encouraged everyone around him. Sundays just haven't been the same without his sunny smile. Larry is our loss but heaven's gain. We loved him. His life was a testimony of God's love and mercy.
