Cathy and family, I am so saddened by what you and your family are going through right now. You've told me many great stories about you and Larry and I will never forget them. Your family is very close and with time, will heal, but never forget the impact he had on all your lives. I will pray for all of you during this time.
Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, Kathy and Family. We spent MANY weekends out at your house growing, many weekends that have very fond memories.

I cannot imagine the pain felt right now, but know that God will be there every step of the way. Our deepest sympathy, The Mohney/Eilers family.
