Dear Elisa, I was so sorry to read today that you have lost Larry. It’s been such a very long time since we last saw one another, but you have been in my thoughts often. Stay strong and carry on. If you ever need a friend to talk to, please know that you can always call on me. We can pick up right where we left off, as though no time has passed at all. I’ll keep you in my prayers and will try to be there on Thursday. Love Always~ Connie Guy
As a child, I remember Larry from church at Laurel St. Later, I worked for him at the tire business.
May God encourage and support you through this time of sorrow and draw you to His side.
Blessings,
