To Larry’s family, we are so sorry for your loss.
We knew Larry from shopping at the IGA. One Christmas Eve several years ago, I came home from work and was getting things organized for Christmas Dinner the next day when I discovered that the pre ordered turkey had not been picked up at the store. Panic! A call was placed to Richard who in turn called Larry who saved our Christmas Day family dinner by generously meeting me at the store and retrieving our previously ordered turkey. We were forever grateful for his kindness.

Here is a poem and I hope it will be of help some.
DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE AND WEEP
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush.
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
*****
