Geri & Family -
I am so sorry to hear about your loss - words at this point are inadequate. I think back on the Epstein days fondly - he was a great guy who effortlessly could make you laugh at the drop of a hat. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Geri & Family:
It is with our deepest sorrows and most heartfelt condolences that we write this note to you today. Your Love Story is/was amazing, strong and beautiful...at times we are sure you questioned God, "why me, why us, why Larry?" The answer can never be what you really want it to be, but trust those of us from afar, it was to teach others to Love and appreciate what they have...to know every minute counts and stop fooling around with the insignificant... We are very sorry that we cannot be there to attend the funeral, to give you a hug, and immediate support. But, know that we will always remember Larry and we know that God has taken him home to a better place and your Love will transcend all time and be reunited in the future. For now, stay grounded in the present, take comfort in all that you did and the Love that is all around you...It sounds trite, but please, if we can ever do anything for you now...do not hesitate to contact us...God Bless You and Your Family. With Love and our deepest sympathies,

I am so sorry for your loss and I wish I could be there for you all. Larry was such a sweet and genuine person, and to me was always considered family. I have such fond memories of him and you all while I was growing up and he will be missed. Nothing I can say or do will lessen your pain at this time but I would like to think he is in a better place, at peace and watching us all with a smile, knowing how loved he is. My deepest sympathies go out to you and all at this difficult time. Please let me know if there is anything at all you need even if it is just to talk. All my love

Geri,

God has plans for us all the moment we are born. He had Larry meet you because he knew you were strong enough to carry the family after he left us. I am a better person for knowing both of you. I think of him often when I'm coaching. If I do half as good as Larry did I will be a success. Elizabeth misses him dearly, as do all of the players from "Larry's Team" The Cherry Hills field will always be known to me as "Hudz Field"

God Bless

Midge, Rich, Rick, Geri & family,
My deepest sympathies. Larry was a very kind, sweet man. I know you are very proud of him. There are no words to ease your pain, but know that just as Larry's soul was born into THIS world and found LOVE, his soul has been born into the NEXT world and surely found even greater LOVE. MY thoughts & prayers are with all of you and with Larry. God Bless You.

Geri and Family,
I have seen Larry's name on the prayer list at Church on several occasions. I was saddened when I saw his name in the bulletin this week. Larry's death puts everything in life in a different perspective. We should all enjoy our families and friends to the fullest.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Dear Midge, Rich & Geri & Children,

Sweet memories of Larry reside in my heart from when he was young. Our family vacation reminances up in International Falls, Minnesota are many and vivid. And now, he was so young, as well. (49) Just like Howie was young (54) when he left before us in 2005.

Our prayers are sent to comfort you and all of yours, at this time of your great loss. May you know in your hearts that Larry was loved and enjoyed by many, while he was with us. Tremendous Love and Peace surround him now.

His memories will forever remain which keeps him with us...Always!

With Love and Sympathy,

Vernie, Tommy, Betty & Chrissy
...The Wedell & Bakalik Families.
