Memories and Condolences
for Larry Coy

Not sure what to say?

Has it really been 10 years? You are missed as much as if it were just yesterday. I still have your shirt in my closet that you left the last time you visited in June 2010! I remember crying as you left with Jim to the airport to go home. Somehow I knew I would never see you again. Not here on this earth anyway. You saved my life by leading me to the Lord as you did so many other people while you were here. I love you my brother but I still have you here in my son Larry. I couldn't have named him any better! People who see your picture mistake it to be him. Missing you and loving our memories! LaDonna (Sis).

Larry will be much remember by us, also Benton grads, for his singing. He and three other fellows sang, much to the enjoyment of the entire school. Our sincere sympathy to your entire family.

Larry was the most wonderful brother a sister could ever have. I could always count on him for any and everything. He led me to the Lord. He was generous and so caring for other people. He always took care of me and I will miss him until I see him again in Heaven on that glorious day.
Love and miss you Bubba,
LaDonna

Larry was proud to have served and retired from the U.S. Navy

Josie, I just heard about Larry. What a great man. I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a lot of great memories of him. We go a long way back to when my family first moved to Jacksonville. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Love you, Joy McElyea Hill

Dear Aunt Josie,
When Uncle Larry was in Texas a few weeks ago, he talked about you, the kids, and the grandkids like you were all right there next to him, which I'm pretty sure is how he thought of you all... always with him. He also said the dinner prayer, and later that night, my husband (Bobby) said, "your Uncle is a really strong Christian, isn't he?". Funny how much you can tell about a person from the words that come out of his heart. My love to you all!

Dear Mrs Coy and Family,
I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Mr.Coy.He was one of my favorite coaches that I had growing up!!
He not only taught me about baseball but He taught me about life and brought me to the Lord!! We had some fun times at Wheat field (Go Stars!!) and at church. He was truly a great man!!

Sincerly,
Ricky Burnett

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

“For just as death came by the means of a man, in the same way the rising from death comes by means of a man. For just as all people die because of their union with Adam, in the same way all will be raised to life because of their union with Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:21-22

Dear Josie and Family,

Please accept our sincere condolences in your loss. We are truly sorry and pray for your strength during this time of grief.

I'm sorry tor your loss - however, we all know Larry loved the Lord and, therefore, we know that "absent from the body - present with the Lord." He was very precious to the Hartman family. We will miss him. Lovingly, Gloria Hartman
