Hi honey,
Happy Birthday to you, hope your day is very special and full of so much love. I see Angie has told you all about our grandchildren, oh are they ever precious. Little Augie looks so much like you. I could kiss him all the time when we are together.  He is going to have a little brother in August, can hardly wait!!!
Matt and tonya's three little ones are such a right fit into our family, you would love each one of them. Matt and Tonya are both great parents, doing a great job! So proud of them.
Cannot express how I miss you, a part of me died too, when you left, but working at making and appreciating life and all it is giving me. Love and miss you, forever Connie

Larry, Happy birthday to you, and know how much I love and miss you and how much we have to celebrate. So much as happened in this last year, and life here continues to amaze me. Cole and Heidi have given us our first grandchild, little August Gene. He is totally amazing, just now starting to walk. He looks just like you, and when he has his Husker hat, well.......he is so so special. Cole joined the ARMY, he will do well there as his desire is strong. Matt and Tonya have adopted the sweetest little girl, they named her BLakely Sue, so precious and you should see Matt and Tonya, they just adore and love this little girl. Maybe two boys to come to, wow and overwhelming!! I am ok, like I said, miss you much but mush on, what else can I do. Happy Birthday to you sweetie, your gift, now you are a grandpa here on earth!!!!
