Not sure what to say?





Hey Sweetie,
It has been TOO long. I wish you would come visit me in my dreams. I wish I could see you and talk to you. I am positive that mom is now up in heaven with you and gram. Saying goodbye to you, mom, and grandma Dora has been the worst. I am happy that you all are in paradise and no longer having to deal with the struggles of today. No more pain, no more suffering, no more bills to pay. There is so much that I wish we could talk about. I hate that you left me, but I know that God called you home and who am I to complain. Come visit me in my dreams!
I love you - your sister Dory

Hey Larry. It's been so long since you left. It just seems unreal. You have now been gone longer than I knew you. But you left an awfully big impression. I still think about you. Miss the shenanigans. I don't think I would be the same person I am now if it was not for you.... Miss your laugh and smile. I hope you are happy up there. Endless bud light 40s and everything you ever wanted. This year has been awful. You are lucky you missed this one. But we still miss and love you ♥♥

It doesnt seem possible its been ten years. I still miss you with all my heart. You are one of the best friends Ive ever had. I dont understand why God takes the good once first and leaves so many bad ones here. Ask God and let me know. See you in my dreams! Love you, Cin

Happy Birthday Lar,
I so wish you were here so we all could go out again. We took Cathi to dinner and a movie but you were who we talked about. That's what she gets for sharing your day ha Ha
Not a day goes by I don't think of you. I was so blessed to have you in my life.
The kids are almost all grown now. Jaden even has a drivers license! Your family and I touch base through Facebook
I miss hanging out with them too I'm going to make sure we all get together this year. I think we kind of make each other said because we remember all the times we shared with you. I love you Lar,
You know you could stop by every once in awhile like you use too. Look forward to seeing you in my dreams. Love,Cin

Hi Lar, well another year has come and gone. Still miss you every day. Kicera's going to be 18 next month. I know I'm really getting old ha ha Wish you were here to share all the milestones with us. So many things have changed but still stay the same. Cathi Diana and I went and watched the thirty year anniversary of Dirty Dancing at dinner we were all talking about how you would have loved going to the new theater and watching with us. We will all be together one day. Love you Cin

February 27, 2017

Hi Larry,
Eight years that doesn't seem possible. I still miss you so much. I think God he let me have you as a friend. Even if was for a short while. I got to go out with the family a couple of weeks age. It was so great seeing them all again. You would be so proud of Doris kids! They're growing up to be such great people.
Elijah asked if we were all going out tonight and drink a shot of tequila in your honor. Next year he will be able to come too. The kids still miss you. They talk about you all the time.
All week long I've been thinking how different our lives would be if you were still here. We all use to have so much fun when we all got together. One day we'll all be together again. Watch out heaven the party's on. Ha Ha I love you Lar. Talk to you soon. Cin

February 25, 2016

I can't believe its been eight years. We all still miss you so much. I miss seeing your family all the time too. We keep in contact through Facebook but it's not the same as us all hanging out. Jaden and I were talking about you today, you wouldn't believe him. He's 5'6 and loves to play basketball. He's pretty good at it too. He still growing maybe he'll be like Nicolas and be over six feet. Elijah looks just like Clifford. Full beard when he was 15. Ha ha I wish you could have met my great grand daughter. I'm sure she would have called you her Sweety!!!jimmie has moved back to the Springs.its really nice having her back home. I don't know why I'm telling you all of this because I know you already know it all you haven't visited me in my dreams in a long time. I think your over due!! I love you Lar until next time, Cin

February 25, 2015

Hi Lar, man it's hit or miss with this's page. I tried to write something on your birthday and it was down and now it's back up. I sure wish there was a phone line up there. I really would like to talk to you. You always seemed to make sence out of things. I wish things where like they where ten years ago. We worked in the shop all our friends came in on Saturday. We all had such a fun time. Things where so much easier then. Or maybe we all were just around to support each other and it made it easier. Oh well we will be together again one day. Love you Lar talk to you soon. Cin

Hey Sweetie,
So you know it's almost my birthday and i'm just having such a rough time without you. Why does life have to be so hard without the person you miss and love? I really need you in times like this. When words can't explain the emotions i'm going through. You were always there even when i did wrong but now i don't have you to get advice and loving comfort. I really miss my mom and I can't even stand the fact that I need you guys. Things that need to be said in person. I wish you were here with me physically. I know you're always with me but it just ain't the same. I love you so much!!!

Hey there my love, it has been so hard without you. I wish you were here. These last 8 months without you have been the most difficult ever. I wish you were here. I wish I could pick up the phone to call you. I know you are with me and I know that you have helped me get through this most difficult time. A new friend of mine has just recently passed away, her name is Deanne Mendoza. If you happen to meet her up there, you two give each other a hug from me. She was a great person. I am sure you would have both got along and loved each other. I miss our laughs and crazy times. I feel like I don't even laugh anymore. Not the way I once used to. I am very grateful to God that you are no longer here having to suffer or stress or just simply be tired of being sick and tired. Pay a visit to your dad. I know he needs you more than anybody. Please keep an eye on him from up above. Anyways, I just wanted to say hello and tell you I love you. Give grandma Dora a big hug and kiss from me her trompuda. Until we meet again, I love you.

Hi there Larry, this is Tavares again. Another year has gone by and still I see your family reminiscing about old times that they spent with you, things that remind them of you, and so much more. They all truly love and miss you so much! They may not have you physically but I know they can feel you with them. I hope that you continue to look over all of them as you always have. I know they appreciate it. Happy belated birthday, rest in peace.

February 27, 2012

Hi SWEETIE, I miss you still ever soooo much. So I finally did it! I got married and now I'm living in Louisiana. It's so funny because I never thought that I would EVER get married much less move away and much much less live in Louisiana. I know that you would be right here with me and the kidds and Tyrone. lol, I know that we would be planning our adventure at Mardi Gras this next year. Ugh, life was not supposed to be like this without you in it. I know that you are here with me everyday, I keep finding dimes everywhere I turn. Things are just not the same. Me and the kidds still miss you and cry for you all the time. They are getting so big you would be so shocked if you could be here. They are all doing good. Life is wonderful you are the only BIG thing missing. I couldn't ask for anything else. Tyrone makes me so happy. He manages to keep a smile on my face. I love you with all my heart. I hope to see you in my dreams.

November 7, 2011

"Hey SWEETIE, IT'S Izzy, I miss you so much. You were the best person ever. I loved you with all my Heart and i still do. I love to hear from you every now and then. I love hearing your voice. When ever i hear it then i know how much you still care about us. You were the best part of my life. Although it was really hard to see you go i know that you will always be in my HEART FOREVER. I also know how much you are helping us from up there where you are. I know you are in a better place and that it all i ever wanted for you. I wanted you to go in peace and you did. I was glad to here you made it safely with grandma Dora's guidence. I am glad you are doing so much better up there. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER."

Hey my love, So my wedding is only a few days away. I am having such a hard time without you. I know you will be at my side only I won't be able to touch you. I know that you will be the guide of Twanette while she combs my hair. Also help me as I try to put on my own makeup. I miss and need you so much. I finally went to visit Ricky the other day. I guess my guardian angel's name is Luis. I hope you are happy for me and ne at my left as my dad walks me up the isle. Hope to see you in my dreams. We need to chat.

August 9, 2011

Dear Larry, I never had the honor to meet you, but Im sure you know that Im Tavares. I hear a lot about you every day from your kids and family. They truely miss you a lot. Its sad to see them cry because they miss you so much, but its great to see them smile when they think about yalls memories. I really wish I had the chance to meet you. TM says you would have approved of me and would have been proud of her. That means a lot to me because she loves you so much. Ive never seen JR get emotional about anyone but his mother and you and thats how I know you were a great person. . . Please look after all of them especially the kids and their mom. Let them know that you are still here in spirit. Rest in peace.

Sincerely, Tavares

February 25, 2011

Hey my SWEETIE, God I miss you soooooooooo much. I cried all day on your birthday. So I am going to be getting married. I haven't set a date yet but it will probably be around Aug 13th. That's when Tyrone came back into my life. I haven't set a date because the other day when I thought about it I totally flipped out and balled my eyes out. YOU are supposed to be the one to comb my hair and put my face on. Now what am I gonna do? Your not here. You were supposed to be the one to walk me down the isle. Me and the kidds need you so much. Ever since Tyrone came back into my life, me and the kidds have been doin better. I know that you liked Tyrone and that you approved of him then, so I know you would be head over heels excited helping me plan my wedding. My life has never been the same without you. I wish you would come visit me in my dreams. I just need to talk to you about so many things. I LOVE YOU.

Hi Lar, Hope you had a Happy Birthday.I miss you so much. Cathi and I were talking about how we would all go out together because you all shared the same birthday. No one went out this year. Things just aren't the same without you around. I wish we could talk, maybe you could put a word in to GOD about a telephone line. It would make it a lot easier for the ones let behind. I love you with all my heart. Cin

We all miss you so much. You were the best friend anyone could ever ask for. The worlds just not the same without you, and neither are we. I know you're in a better place, but you were one of the only good things about where we are. I can only dream of the day you greet us at the gates. We love you and miss you.

Hi Sweetie, it's me. Oh me and the kidds have been thru so much these last two years. I'm still not able to adjust my life since you left. I can only think that your on a long vacation away from me. So we just visited Vegas. You were supposed to be with us. As I boarded the plane I couldn't help but cry and miss you. I remembered the day that we went to get our free Vegas trip tickets, because you left, we never went back together, we lost out on our tickets. Anyway's, I know that you were with us on this trip. Izzy found a dime on the floor and if that wasn't enough when we went to the Bellagio, you let me know that you were with me when the water show began and it danced to the TITANIC song. Yup, I lost it, I knew that you were telling me that you were with me. I only wish that you could have been with me in the flesh. I have been praying and studying. I know that we are not supposed to question our Lord, Heavenly Father about his decisions, so I won't. I just need to say that my love for you will never end. Our memories that we created keep me strong. Thank you for loving me and the kidds so much. Dora is so much better, for a minute there I thought you were going to take her with you like you did freeway. Well Sweetie, don't forget to put in good words about me to my Lord, Father in Heaven. Can't wait to see you again. Your beloved wonderful sister Dor***

Lar, I can't believe it's been two years since I got that awful phone call. They say time heals all pain. I don't believe that . It still hurt as bad today as it did then. We had so many plans. The world just isn't right with you not in it. You touched so many people with your talent, and kind heart. I miss you so much Lar....your always in my heart. Love, Cin

Sweetie, It has taken me time to have the courage to write to you. I love you and miss you so much. You were my good, you were my bad, you were my love, my Sweetie. My life has never been the same. 1 year will almost pass and I can not grasp the fact of your loss. I need you. The children and I need and miss you dearly. Your babies need you. I can not express how much you kept us together and made everything right even when everything was wrong. How do I come to accept that you are not a phone call away?Christina's Quincenera is a few months away and I don't know how I will get thru it without you. Many tears are shed everyday by me and mom or the kidds. I keep strong with the faith that you went one step ahead and will be waiting for me to join you and grandma. There are so many things that I want to tell you. So many things to come that I need you here by my side. All I can do is feel you in my heart and know that you are here. My life will never be the same and no one can compare. It has taken me a long time to stop asking why did you leave me. I know that my precious Lord called you home. I know that you are happy and never will feel the pains of this world here on earth. Your pain has ended and mine for you will not end, only till we meet again. LOVE YOUR SISTER DORY.

Hi Sweetie - and you did call everyone that too! I just found out that you are no longer with us and it makes me sad. I'm just so sorry that we hadn't spoken for so long. I just remember the day you started working at Junior Achievement and what a sweetheart you were every time you would come by my desk to tell me your stories of the day. You were such a baby when you started that job. My condolences to all of your family. How they will miss you. I'll never forget you and how you always wanted to help everyone look beautiful - just like you.

To the Espinoza Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Larry was my best friend in early grade school years,and we lost touch. I saw him several years ago when he cut my hair. He was still the sweetheart I remembered from 2nd grade. He was one of the most kind, caring people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.He left a such an impression on me. He will truly be missed by all those who were blessed to know him.
