Here's a song I wrote regarding Grandpa Larry: It's called: Shine In Heaven [Verse] I miss you already, my heart wants to cry... it seems like forever... when I told you goodbye... oh but grandpa we love you mmm such an incredible guy..oooohhh [Chorus] now you shine in heaven.. such a beautiful angel.. now your with Cindy and your loved one's. such beautiful angels... ooooh grandpa we love you [Verse] I wanted more time mmm I know we all did... but asking for more time mmm was as selfish as we could get... they say if you love somebody you will let them go.. this isn't a goodbye... it's a I'm going to see you in the next lifetime ohhhhh [Chorus] now you shine in heaven.. such a beautiful angel.. now your with Cindy and your loved one's. such beautiful angels... ooooh grandpa we love you [Verse] such a beautiful angel.. oooooh you're so amazing... now go be with Jesus and help be the guide that we need ooooohh [Chorus] now you shine in heaven.. such a beautiful angel.. now your with Cindy and your loved one's. such beautiful angels... ooooh grandpa we love you

Dee and family, I am sorry to hear of Larry's passing. Your family have been in my prayers these last few months as he fought. He was a loving and caring man and supported his children in everything. That love grew with his grandchildren and great grandchildren. He had so much enthusiasm for all things Prairie, most of it was watching his children and grandchildren. He was a sports enthusiasts and shared that with those he knew. Larry did so much for his family, close friends and really just to anyone if he could. His time was valuable with all the things and people who spent time with him. I still continue to pray for all of you. I will miss hearing and seeing Larry but I will always think of him as the man he was.
