Ree Ree - Our sincere condolences on your loss. Larry is now home after a wonderful journey of 82 years. You were a wonderful Wife to Larry. May God bless you.
---------------------------------------
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The Soul that rises with us, our life's Star,
Hath had elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forgetfulness,
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.

Mrs. Sterling & Mark, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Larry's passing. I have many fond memories of him and both of you from the old neighborhood in High Point and the many "chats" we had just about every evening on your front steps. My sincere condolences to you and your family.
