October 25, 1994

Larry (My Dad)

I can't believe it has been 14 years today since my dad passed away.
When I think about it, it seems like it was just yesterday. I remember the day so clearly. It also seems like it has been forever. So much has happened since he passed. He is such a great man. He is such a good example to me. When I go through hard times I just think of him and it really helps me through. I miss him so much. I love you dad!

I couldn't remember the exact date, but I knew it was right about now. I remember it well. I found some old pictures of us. There was one of me and your dad and I was on Chauncy! Time really does fly! He was a great guy!

I love that picture of your dad, I don't think I will ever forget it! He was so handsome, and a true cowboy, and so Humble. I'm sure this time of year is hard for you, I didn't realize he passed away so close to your Birthday, that makes me sad. I'm so happy that you are living the way you are so you can see him again, that will be awesome! I Love you, Take care. I hope your Mom is doing better.

I really wish I would have known your dad! Sometimes I picture him having a personality like Jaxons, but I really have no idea. You know he' watching over your family right now. Love you guys!

What a sweet tribute to your dad and a great picture of him too. I'm so thankful of our knowledge of the Lord's Eternal plan!
