"When trying to encourage Larry, I was inspired by his faith and glorious outlook on his bout with such a terrible disease. Larry is truly a man of faith and the Word. He is an example of how we should view life when going through such a time in our life. I didn't know Larry very long but feel privileged to have known him. I will miss seeing him in Sunday school class and church. "
In loving memory of
Larry Lee Howell
