Dear Honey and family,
So sorry to hear of Larry's passing. There are so many memories of being neighbors with you on Goodrich Avenue! I loved reconnecting with both you,Honey and Larry in the Edgcumbe neighborhood(especially that very fun dinner party where Larry was so entertaining!!!)
May he rest in peace and may you all feel God's grace surround you. You are so lucky to have had such a wonderful man as a husband, dad and grandpa.
