As Larry’s sister-in-law, I remember a man who was funny, kind and always there to offer advice and support to me and his brother Alan. He and I loved Brenda and Larry very much, and as I believe Mom and Dad, Bobbie, Alan, and Larry are all together again, I will hold them in my heart with love forever.
