Oh my dear friend Larry. I love and appreciated him so very much. Larry was my very close confident when we served the Lord together. When I was going through a difficult time he was there to listen and pray or if the situation merited he’d just laugh, make a joke, and cheer me up like no one else could or understood. However, there wasn’t that many hard times mostly good times where we’d pray, serve, and praise the goodness of the Lord… Larry was always so faithful to the Lord and the church, never looking for a reward however, I am sure he’ll receive many! I look forward to seeing him again on the otherside of eternity.
