Aunt Barbara, Helen, Raymond and grandkids,

My heart goes out to you this Father’s Day weekend.  We loved Uncle Larry and are saddened to see him leave us.  Please be comforted knowing he lived a long and happy life surrounded by those who meant the most to him.  He will be in good company in heaven and is probably receiving a very warm welcome from those who loved him and have gone before us.  I will keep all of you in my prayers.  With deepest sympathy . . .

Love, Nancy
