From insert in Funeral Program:
These past four months have been
full of many emotions:
First of all, such sadness for a diagnosis and prognosis that would take
the life from the 54-year-old man that I have lived and worked with and loved
for nearly 35 years.
Next came the thankfulness to God that there would be time to get our
"Ducks in a Row" as Larry and I referred to the process of taking
care of important matters. We were given that time
and tried to use it wisely. He was able to direct and take part in all matters
of business amd family. He was given the time to say
his good-byes to friends and family. He treasured his friends and was so
appreciative of all of the care and concern that so many showed to him and to
me during these last months.
Larry's biggest concern following his diagnosis was never for himself.
He was concerned for me as I would be alone and no longer have the love and
companionship that was such a treasure to both of us. He was next so saddened
to be leaving his grandchildren. He was so proud to be able to begin to instill
in these precious little ones his values and his heritage. He wanted to allow
them to enjoy being a part of our farming life and to learn to love and
appreciate that part of his life as much as he did. He knew our daughters would
miss his presence in their lives, but he knew that each has a loving husband to
help them through this.
From the beginning of Larry's illness we both prayed for healing but if
that was not to be, we prayed for his comfort through the illness. He wanted to
not have pain and most of all, to stay at home withy me. Both of these prayers
were answered. He was ill during and following chemotherapy treatments that he
endured, but pain was just about nonexistent. He was able to stay at home for
his entire illness. That is a gift that I will treasure forever. I was given
the opportunity to love and care for my life long partner every day of his journey.
He was in absolute peace during his entire illness. He knew where he was
going. He just didn't know how soon he was going to get there.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank each and every one of you
for all of your many ways that you have shown such care, concern, and love to
Larry, me, and to our girls. The girls and I will treasure this for the rest of
time. You have given us one of the greatest gifts that a
person can ever recieve, to be loved and cared
about by friends.
I wish you all God's Peace.
Darlene
