He is at rest and now it's up to us to honor him by striving to be the kind of person he would like to have known..
His humor was contagious and genuine..
He was and always will be our big brother..and we will always be known simply as..
"Larry's sisters"
Larry, when you see Mother and Daddy, tell them we are fine and we'll see them one day. And that we love them.........
I love you Larry and will miss you forever.
“We only part to meet again
Tho mighty boundless waves may sever
Remembrance oft shall bring thee near
And I will with thee go forever
And oft a midnight’s silent hour
When brilliant planets shall guide the ocean
Thy name shall rise to heaven’s highest star
And mingle with my soul’s devotion.”
-Edgar Allen Poe

So sorry to hear about the passing of your brother. Larry always knew how much his sisters loved him. I figure he has his cowboy hat on and is fixin' to go ride the horse he found up there! Up there, where there is no more pain and sorrow. Colleen, you are in my prayers tonight. Just know that your bloggy friends are thinking of ya... hugs and safe travels...
Oh Collen I am deeply sadended by Larry's passing he was the type of person I would have loved to have known. Please give the sisters a kiss for me and here's one for you, with a big cyber hug honey. I loved the poem you used. I feel like I have known him forever through your blog. He will be missed. Love ya, Pearl

So many people love you and have you in their thoughts, Colleen, and our family is among them. You are in our prayers. "The deepest ache possible" is so true. My sweet grammy passed away over a year ago and I still long to call her up to let her know I'm doing fine. Our best to your sisters and the rest of your family. Travel safely...
