Dear Blanche and family; I am so sorry to hear of Larry's passing. What a wonderful kind man he was. I recall adding a room to our house and Dave Daily asked his advice on the degree of pitch it should be, and I watched as Larry stood in the front yard puffing on his pipe, calling off numbers while Dave wrote them down. He never measured anything and the roof turned out perfect. What a talent. My love and prayers are with you and family. God bless you all. Bunny Hays, Peachtree City, GA buns.hays@gmail.com

Dear Blanch,There isn't much more I can say since we have been a trio for so many years many years ago. You know how I feel about both of you. You both have been in my daily prayers for decades. I continue to pray for God to lead you through your grieving and in time the hurt will become less. Numbers 6:24-26 The Lord bless you and keep you;25 The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace.Love, Glenn Cribbs
