Even though we live far away, and we have lost touch with much of the family, I wanted to say that we all think of my Uncle Larry often. I remember him fondly and feel the loss for his wife and girls. He was a wonderful man and taken from this world way too soon!
With much love,
Cathy (Lula Mae's daughter)
