Dear Angel, Lori, and Mary,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. I am glad that I got to speak with Uncle Larry earlier this month.
Dear Mary, Lori, and Angel,
We were sorry to learn of the passing of your dad. We remember him with fondness and hope that your memories of him will give you comfort and peace.
To Larry’s family……He will be remembered with fondness by all who knew him (many people in Adams County). We have known him since we were young and lived on Pine Street. Saw him quite often at Country Skillet and enjoyed talking with him. Thoughts and prayers are being sent to you and yours.
