Kara and Richard Paul, I am very sorry for the loss of your father. I know how hard it was to loose my mom. Uncle Larry was a good man. I have good memories of him growing up when he would take off his glasses and everyone would run. I was too young to understand why and your dog that ate everything. Love never leaves us. It is the one thing we get to take with us when we go and the only thing of value that remains when we leave. Prayers of comfort and peace for you and everyone there. Love and God Bless Always.
