    Words can not express how much Uncle Larry will be missed. He was a man of few words but expressed his love with just a smile. My heart is sad for losing him but knowing that he is no longer in pain helps to ease this. God bless aunt Darla, Larry,and Amy, may God wrap his arms around you all and help you through your grief. Love you all.
