My sincerest condolences go out to you Camille, your boys and Larry's children and grandchildren. He is resting in peace now and you should take comfort in knowing that he will always be that handsome southern gentlemen as shown in his picture. He always made me laugh and had the greatest disposition and personality. I know he enjoyed listening to my NY stories and accent because he laughed every time. That's how I will remember him. Lean on your family and friends for support. There is no manual that will teach you how to grieve or how to move forward you just learn how to do it. One day at a time. Allow yourself to feel what you want to feel and you will find the strength to move on each day. Talk to him, he'll be there with you and he'll always and forever be in your heart. thinking of you always, your friend Vivian
