A limb has fallen from the family tree.I keep hearing a voice that says, “Grieve not for me.
Remember the best times, the laughter, the song.
The good life I lived while I was strong.
Continue my heritage, I’m counting on you.
Keep smiling and surely the sun will shine through.
My mind is at ease, my soul is at rest.
Remembering all, how I truly was blessed.
Continue traditions, no matter how small.
Go on with your life, don’t worry about falls
I miss you all dearly, so keep up your chin.
Until the day comes we’re together again

Lawrence was a wonderful neighbor we could count on always. His honesty, integrity, and work ethic were second to none. We were proud to call him friend. He will be greatly missed and fondly remembered for his many kindnesses and gentle soul.

Irene, Lorene and family – I am sorry to learn of Larry’s passing. I really enjoyed our visit a couple of years ago, when my brother and I stopped in. I guess things just won’t be the same out at Mirror Lake.
