I am looking out my window and snow flakes are falling. I can think that it is you sprinkling your love on us from heaven. My memories are mostly of us when we were very young. But they are wonderful memories and I miss you very much. I know you will be there holding the gate open for the rest of us when we join you.

Its been a year today and I still miss you so much. I still dont know why things happen like they did and you had to leave us, life for me will never be the same without you.

Larry,
It's been a year today since we lost you.It all still seems so fresh. We miss you so very much!!!! I miss picking up the phone & you being on the other end. I Love you & regret not telling you that when I had the chance.

Kenny & Julie Baxter

April 17, 2010

I sit here thinking about the next few days will be a year since you left. Kenny hasn't been himself totally since then. He misses you alot. He said sometimes he still reaches for the phone to call you, then he remembers you aren't there.
we love and miss you.....

Easter... another holiday has come & gone that I didn't get to talk to you, I always knew that if things got busy on both ends, we would always talk on the holidays, (except last year on Easter). I miss our talks & I miss you. I love you....

Lynn Hooks

March 27, 2010

I have so many memories when we were all little, but not as many as adults. Too busy with life, children growing up, taking up so much time. I always expected there to be time, but there wasnt. You tried to stay in touch with everyone, always went back home for gatherings, family meant so much. My life would have been richer with you in it. As your birthday has come, I said extra prayers for Betty, Daniel and Brian, the family that meant so much to you. See you in heaven.

Faye Baxter

March 26, 2010

Hey Big Brother, Just wanted to say I miss you every day & Love you very much. You are always in my thoughts, it hurts so much you being gone. There is a big void in a lot of lives.

Agnes Ralph

March 25, 2010

You will always be two years older than me even in heaven.I think of us as children and how we always played together and it is so hard to think of you being gone. Love you and miss you.

Happy Birthday!! I just want to thank you for always being a wonderful ulnce to my kids. They could not have asked for a better uncle. But really want to make sure you know how much it means to me that you was best husand my sister could have. You always tried to make sure she was happy and loved her and my nephews very much. They could not have found anyone better. I thank you for everything you have done for my family and for me. We love you very much and will always miss you being there.

Last night Daniel brought a truck, and you would be so proud of him because you would approve of the one he picked out. But it also reminded us that you were not here with us to see it, and that hurts so bad. We miss you so much everyday and as Sunday (fathers day) gets closer my heart aches so much for the boys, I hope they realize how much you loved them and I hope you can see how much we loved you. Love Always

I've started writing several times and never can finish,as I sit here tonight I realize how much you meant to me. You were always so wonderfule to me and I could never have ask for a better husband or father to the boys. We miss you so much and wish you were still with us. In two days Daniel will get married and there will be such a void without you there. You will always have a place in my heart. Love Betty
