Dear Precious Sister Carol, and Family,
May the Peace of God be with all of you, as you go through your time of grieving now, and may Larry's passing, on to his reward, to go be with Jesus, be your confidence, and your incentive, and your resolve, to make ready to go meet him again some day, in that peaceful land beyond the river.
Where our dear friend Larry is now resting from all his labors, all his ups and downs, all his joys, and all his many disappointments, and trials, that he went through in his lifetime, may the life that he lived in front of you all, be the thing that now, more then ever, gives you the resolve to go that same way that he did.
Our dear Friend Larry choose to love, when he could have chosen bitterness,
He chose to forgive, when he could have held grudges, he was a tremendous example, of respect toward his fellow man, we shall never forget his kind loving spirit that he exhibited in his life, his love toward his wife and family, and friends.
We have many fond memories of Larry, that will now live on in our hearts, and help to urge us onward, and to beckon us to join him in the sweet bye and bye, in that lovely hereafter, where all the pain and sufferings of this present life, will only be distant memories, vanishing like a gentle mist, that lays down in the valley, and all melts away as the sun rises of a beautiful Spring morning.
Again May God bless you richly as you go through your time of bereavement, I believe you will find out in looking back now, that Larry was a greater Father, Friend, and Husband, then you may have given him credit for, while he was yet alive among you, hopefully this will be your experience, as you share the many good times you had as a family, together, as you laugh, and cry, in reliving those special moments, don't ever be ashamed to cry, let the tears flow, enjoy one another, love your Mom, and stand by her.
God bless, and we'll see all of you in the sweet bye & bye.
Bro Jake Stoltzfus
