Dear Beth & Family
I enjoyed working with Larry so much. He was wonnderful to work with and a truly good person. The times we spent "in the trailers" ws unique, and I still tell people about our "pig-outs". Charli, Sylvia and I were together Monday evening remembering all of the good times. I think Larry would have been very pleased to know that we are still in touch.
Please know my thought and prayers are with you, and that Larry still remains a good friend.
Love and prayers,
