May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Linda, you are in my thoughts and prayers and may the love you shared with Larry keep him close forever.

It was a sad day when I heard about Larry's passing recently. Bob and I were neighbors in Cragin--classmates at St Stan's---and customers of Larry's for automotive work--both in Schiller Park and Chgo. Our deepest sympathies.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

September 8, 2010

I don't have words to help me express my sorrow to Linda. Just
please know that I will be there for you and you will always be in my thoughts and prayers. God rest your soul and keep you in the palms of His hands Larry!!
Love, cousin Denise
