Our Journey Has Ended

Larry passed away last night, October 26, at home surrounded by his wife and children.
This journey was much too short, and as I try to wrap my head around it, I know that he is in a better place.  The kids and I have spent today doing the unthinkable. We picked out his casket and burial plot. It was a really sad thing to do, but we found a beautiful casket that looked just like the furniture in our house. And that made us all feel better.
We were so blessed to have him in our lives. He was a great husband, dad, son, brother and uncle.
Over the last few days, we have heard about a how lucky he was to have us, and we all agree that we were definitely the lucky ones. He never missed a ballgame or a dance recital. If the kids were sick during the night, he was right there with me taking care of them.  Anyone who knew Larry, knew about his kids.
We have spent some time today sharing funny stories about Larry, he was quite a comedian.

A friend of the kids, who knew Larry wrote something this morning that was just perfect:

The streets of heaven are celebrating the arrival of Larry today. I know a wonderful father and loving husband will be missed, but the Lord will be laughing and enjoying his company as much as we all did. Always smiling, always cheerful, always remembered!

Thank you again for all of the love, prayers and support during our journey. 

God bless Larry
