I just found out about Larry. Isn't it funny how you can grow so close to someone over the computer? I never met him, but he began such a big support for me over this last year. He began an older brother to me. Someone that I knew I could always count on. He was a wonderful friend. But it really hits home for me...a little to close to home. He passed right between the anniversaries of my dad's death(Nov. 29) and my grandfather's(Dec. 20). Connor and Jessica are pretty much the same ages my younger brother and I were when we lost our dad 6 years ago. I know what they are going through right now. I'm sad, not just for the loss that we as his friend's have lost but the loss that so many others that he would have met and helped in the future. He was an amazing man and never seemed to realize the impact he had on all of us. He was humble and grounded. He was a friend, a friend that I will miss greatly. I've had him on my mind a lot today, and was just talking about him not just 10 mins. before I found out. Guess I know why...he was watching over me today. I just had to write about this...had to get it out...
Alicia,
I know first hand how much Larry cared about you. He and I both felt pretty protective over you. He and I discussed your situation many times on personal email and we both felt that you deserve so much better in life.
He is watching over all of us right now. He may be gone but he will never ever be forgotten....
