    Larry,

    I miss you every day. You were one of the kindest people I ever knew. I don’t recall your ever once saying a bad thing about anyone, or gossiping, or raising your voice. You were a friend to all, and I am a better person for having known you. I hope you’re fishing in the best streams now. You so deserve to sit on the banks, catch the biggest fish, and think about nothing but what makes you feel joy.

    Love,

    Laurie
