To Larry’s family & friends
He will surely be missed, his smile, his zooming up and down the halls of Villa. God bless his friends & family and help each one in this time of sorrow.
A Rose once grew where all could see
Sheltered beside a garden wall and as the days passed swiftly by
It spread it branches, straight and tall…
One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide.
The Rose bent gently toward its warmth and passed beyond to the other side…
Shall claim of death cause us to grieve and make our courage faint and fall, let us faith hope and receive,
The Rose still blooms beyond the wall!!!
Sorry will not be able to attend services, due to a bad cold…
Blessing to all
Sorry for your loss. Tammy ,Larry,Rose your all in are prsyers
