Although this is a sudden loss and shock to family and friends left behind, I know Uncle Larry is rejoicing right now not only at being in the presence of his Heavenly Father, but also at the reunion of his earthly father and his brothers as well.

Mr. Larry was a wonderful neighbor for the last 25+ years. He was a friendly man who looked out for those in his community, especially my mother, since the passing of my father. I am saddened by his passing but I can rejoice knowing that he's in a better place. To his family/friends: your loss is our loss, and we are praying that God comfort you in your time of need. With love
