My condolences to the Pfiffer and Roe families.
I write this with a heart that is full of love and compassion for you, Sherry and all the friends and family that knew and loved Larry. He was a very unique and special man and I will always remember his kindness to me. I am thinking of you today and every day and sending you love.
It will soon be a year since you went to be with the Lord, mom and dad and other family members and friends. Words cannot express the emptiness I have in my soul every single day when thoughts of you pop into my head and I want to call you to talk. I see all the signs you send to me,,,,,the feathers, the planes overhead, the 6 2 9 numbers that connect us all. Those left behind will never be whole again as we each gave you a piece of us the day you went to your eternal home. As we gather again one by one to the side where you are now….I look forward to the joy of our reunion in heaven~~~I miss you and love you my baby brother! xoxoxo Nan 9-27-15
Coming up on 2 years without your earthly presence and we all still miss you as much today as the day you left us. Not a day goes by that we don’t remember your antics, your smirk when you were kidding with someone, your quiet demeanor…….we feel your presence and although it reminds us that you are gone we feel grateful for the warmth it brings us. Until we are all reunited again…..know we are missing you tremendously. Much love to you my brother. Rest in peace. Nan 9-22-16
