My spitfire Aunt Lindy could use an extra heaping spoonful of love right now.

My wonderful, funny, Uncle Larry DePaula earned his wings on August 25. My Aunt Lindy was where she has been for the last 71 years; by his side and holding his hand.
My Aunt Lindy & Uncle Larry would have been married 63 years come December, but have been childhood sweethearts since my Aunt Lindy was 9 and Uncle Larry was 10. It's hard to imagine that any married couple could have a perfect marriage, especially after 62 years, however, my Aunt and Uncle absolutely did.

Aunt Lindy, I am so beyond proud of you. You are so strong and Uncle Larry could not have asked for a better life with a better wife. I love you to the moon and back.

Uncle Larry was loved by everyone that knew him and he will be greatly missed.
Just remember Aunt Lindy; now you can tell people you're not talking to yourself, but Uncle Larry. He's always with you and he will always keep you safe.

Love,
Sky Crystal
