Larry was such a wonderful, kind man. He would always put everyone else first and himself last. He was remarkable man and will be missed greatly. I am blessed to have known him and for him to be part of our lives for all these years. We have shared much over the years a great deal of laughter, joy, happiness and yes tears too... Those memories make us ache now, but with time they will turn to sweet, sweet memories and remembrances. Our families have shared much over these 22 plus years, school days, pool days, birthdays, holidays, Halloween, parties, barbeques, card nights, scrabble nights, communions, confirmations, graduations, weddings, anniversaries, births, baptisms and...Jess, we have been through it all hard times and good times know that I am with you every step of the way with you and all the kids, we are sisters. You are not nor will you ever be alone.Up until the day my dad passed, he always asked how you & Larry were doing. I am sure when Larry arrived home, my dad was among those who welcomed him to his new heavenly home. On that very last day with him as we spoke what would be our final words...I told him that '...I would always be there for you and all the kids, the entire kit and caboodle as I put it, told him you and I are like fric and frac, where fric is frac is too. No worries I said, and that I loved him...'. In typical Larry style he smiled through the pain and replied in a whisper '...pray for Jess, I know...I know you will...thank you Aud...'.'..to be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord..', Larry my dear friend, rest in peace until we see each other again...Peace be with you.
