I enjoyed working with Larry on the Pet program many years ago. He was such a kind man, never an unkind word came out of his mouth. My condolences to his family. I’m sorry but I am unable to attend his service.

Amalia en nuestra vivencia del dolor por la Ausencia de la persona que amamos, llegará el momento de seguir, de avanzar, de permitir que nuevas emociones se aniden en nuestro corazón.
Pero cada uno necesita un tiempo diferente para que esto ocurra. Y así como será bueno aceptar que nuestro viaje continúa, también lo es respetar nuestro propio tiempo de pensar y memorias . Dios nuestro señor te acompañe por siempre ??
Te mando un fuerte fuerte abrazo
