Sweet Connie,
I am so very sorry for your loss of your beloved husband and the pain in your heart. I extend my sympathy to your family as well. I was shocked to hear just a little over a week ago that he was ill and the prognosis was poor.
I know I really have no words that can comfort your heart, there is only One that can and my prayer is He will embrace and hold you and all your family close at this time and the days and weeks ahead. He is so very close to the broken hearted and those crushed in spirit. God bless you.
Connie and Family: So so sorry for your loss and the pain you have been through. If there is ANYTHING we can do, please call on us. (My dad “Bud” was Ms Mary’s cousin) Love you all.
My heart is heavy reading this but I have no doubt that Larry is now pain free and at the right hand of God. Butch thought the world of Larry and always enjoyed their visits at the market after Larry left Goodman. Our prayers are will you all. Our love, Butch & Sharon
So very sorry for your loss. Your family is in our prayers.
