I wonder what it's like when an angel smiles.
Maybe it's when the clouds break, the sun shines through,
Or when a gentle breeze suddenly pauses.
I'm sure its when a rainbow appears.
I've always wondered what it's like when an angel smiles...
...I'll keep looking for the answers and smile.

Larry, you are that angel.

God Bless a great man and good friend.

A Father is a source of strength. A teacher and a guide. The one his family looks up to. With loving trust and pride. A Father is a helper, with a willing hand to lend. A partner, an advisor and the finest kind of friend.
