Hey, Big L,
Exactly ten years ago you passed. I still miss you terribly and will be glad to see you when I go. Not yet though. Lol
The big news is Andy and Ashley are having a baby in September!  I know you would have been over the moon about that. 
And Rita and I are going on a trip to Italy and Paris next month. What a treat. You know I have been planning this forever. 
Love you and think about you every day. I hope you have WI-FI in heaven. 
Yours always, Sisie

Hi Larry, it’s the anniversary of your leaving day, always rough for me. I already did my taxes so there’s that. It is a very crazy time. I have been in the house for over a month due to the Corona virus pandemic. Everyone is wearing masks, we have to make our own because of shortages, if we go out. It would be so great if you were here. It would be your greatest challenge and you would lead us all through it, I know. 
Love you and miss you, Sisie

Love,

Hi Bro,
I sure miss you. I want you to know that I'll never forget you and I'll always love you. I know you and Mom and Dad are together, and she has you by her side and she is young again and healthy. It's rough here now and we are all scared but doing everything we can to stay well. Good news, Andy is getting married in September. I'll upload some pictures for you. Take care of Mom and Dad, Ed and Sue, Helen, Don, Papaw Bill, Grandma Mary, Rich, Larry and watch over us too if you can. Love, Karen and Lee

Hey my Dear Brother, I think about you every day and remember you with love. I'm sadly reminded that lives go on even though we can't see how it could be possible. That's the thing about life, it moves forward, 1 day, then another, a month, a year, 5 years. The thing is, we all wish we could share our lives with you and Dad but in my heart and in my mind, I believe you can see us, maybe you can't change our path but we xan still draw on your strength, your will, your spirit and it will help us as we go through life. Thank you, and tell Dad that we love him too as much as always and forever. Karen

Happy Birthday Big Brother,  I miss you and I can hardly believe that you are 65 now. I will be 61 in a few days. I can remember always saying there is 4 days, 4 hours, 4 minutes between our births. LOL, who knows if that's even true. It seems like the months go by so much faster now. I truly believe we will see each other again one day. 

Love,
Karen

Merry Christmas Larry. Had your family over for a Christmas visit last night. Grandma wasn't feeling well so she didn't' come.  We had a good meal and really missed you being here.  Love you so much. I spent an hour reading what I wrote and going through the pictures. Reminds me of the good times and what a rich life you led.
I know you keep us close.
Love you and will see you again in heaven!

Hi Larry, It's hard to believe you've been gone from us for 4 years. You are still in my thoughts every day and I carry you with me in my heart always. I miss having you to lean on and talk to. Rest easy, you will see us all again one day and we will take you in our loving arms again as if no time had passed at all. We have to believe that so we can keep going every day. Love, Karen

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! To my best buddy. I think of you every day and remember all the good times and fun that we had. I know you would like our new boat- it goes fast! You always loving going fast on the river and our old boat was too slow. You would be pleased - I might have won you over to the pontoon boat if you saw this one. Mom and Andy went to visit you on your birthday. They left a pretty angel there that glows at night. I'm sure you like it. You are truly missed! Love, Karen

Hi Big Brother, No day goes by without me thinking of you and wishing something could have helped you stay with us. I remember your suffering and in my heart I believe that no one should go through what you did. I know you tried so hard to live and you fought a good fight. A piece of me is lost forever but we have to live and continue to love and make sure you are not forgotten. We all love you and you will never be forgotten. This tribute site is so wonderful - it give us a chance to remember you and it helps me. Until next time, I Love and Miss you!

Dear Brother, There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of you and the funny things you would say. We are reminded of you every time we get together and we laugh about your Larry-isms. My heart is sad without you but there are happy memories that we are left with too.

You will never be forgotten and I will always keep you close to my heart.

Happy Birthday Lare! I truly miss the stories we shared and all the laughter that came with those. Camp is not the same without you, but I am so thankful to know that you are now with your dad. I often hear a bird chirp louder than the rest and feel a sense of peace and think of you. Love you! Your friend ~ Tammy

Happy Birthday, Brother. You are on my mind daily, and in my thoughts whenever we do something where you would have been with us. Our family is smaller now and we are closer. I guess that is what happens when you lose a dear family member. I hope you are surrounded by those who love you and you are happy and at peace. I will count on that. I love you and always will. Your sis, Karen:)

My dear brother, I truly miss you. The last year was so hard for all of us because you were such a large figure in our lives. You definitely left an impression on everyone who knew you and we are better people because of you. You are and will always be my best friend. I love you, Karen

Oh Sisie, I am so sorry I didn't even know Larry passed on to his reward until I received this ForeverMissed email. I won't say I am sorry for your loss, because Larry is not "lost" - he is in heaven with our Father, and you WILL see him again. I look forward to meeting him when my time comes. God bless you and comfort you as I know you miss him dearly! Love, Michele Doll

What matters most in this live, and what people will never forget about you is how you made them feel. I only met Larry once, but I know that Sisie was happy and that's all that counts.

I was never blessed to meet Larry but because he loved my dear friend, Sisie, and made her so happy I could not help but love him too. I have no doubt that he's in Heaven. I look forward to meeting him one glorious day where there will be no more pain or sickness or death!

Poem for Big L

April 15, 2020
A friend wrote this poem and it reminds me of Larry, 
A poem by Bev Bowers
She recorded it on Facebook.  Beginning she says she looks “Purdy darn good”. And this is a “Work in Progress”
          When my rook of crows come for me
          to escort me to my sweet bye and bye
            Let my soul be packed with stories
            Of the goodness we’re leaving behind
              as we pass through the sky
              Smiling down at the drakes and swans
                Let my footsteps follow me out
                Leaving spotless paths behind
                  For new souls with their new ideas
                  They can plant their paths anew
                    May all the beloved people
                     Who weep for losing their lands
                       That we have tossed them from
                          Let me feel one last time
                           As I am earth bound 
                             Those breezes on my face
                               As my body explodes into grace
                                   As yours will too sometime
                            Let us look back and hope and pray
                                That those who leave behind
                            Will care for this beautiful planet
                             will bring it back to health
                                   So that we one more time
                                       From wherever those crows drop us off
                             can come back and walk this place
                                      One more time.
