Diane, Alan, and family, I am so sorry for your loss. There are a few patients who nurses always keep close to their hearts. Larry and his beautiful family will be one of those for me. Thank you for being amazing family, caregivers, and support staff to Larry. There is no question in my mind that he loved you all and his life an enormous amount. Please call if you need anything. You know where to find me. Love, Jenni
Larry, although i did not know you I can see by all the messages in your book tht you are loved and cherished by your family and friends. My six year old grandaughter is also a Down syndrome person and the love of our family. Thank you Larry for your inspiration.
I am 1960 Will Rogers High Grad. I wont be able to attend Larry's memorial service but I wanted you,Diana, to know how thankful I am that you are having this service for him. I have a wonderful friend in our church named Paula who also has lived successfuly with Down syndrom. I was her Sunday School teacher for a number of years. She is a very loving lady now and always gives me a big hug at church. I am thankful that you, his family and other care givers helped Larry live a full and productive life. You are an inspiration to all of us. Jerry B
Larry – You have been a shining light at ResCare for many years and we have always loved seeing your smiling face. Your kindness and your unique way of interacting with the world grabbed the heart of everyone you came in contact with. The world will not be the same without you, but it is better because you were here. We miss you. Love to the family. I'm so sorry.
Larry, You are the Man!!!! What an inspiration you have been to everyone who has met you. Your smiling face and sweet manner will forever be within my heart.
It seemed to be the springtime of our lives in those days when the children were small. Larry was integral to those outings with the children. His life was shaped by family and our lives were shaped and impacted by his own. That is the way God planned it just as He had a plan and purpose for this special needs child who grew into a man's body. He was blessed in ways he only now can realize to be so loved by all who knew him, to be loved as only a firstborn can be by his mother. Thank you to Larry's family for including us in your blessedness. You are much loved. May you never stop missing him or be absent from the pain that comes from loving. Always, Judy
