If only there were something that friends could say or do. Some way they might express their thoughts to help and comfort you. And yet perhaps, just knowing that there are those who care, will help at least in some small way, to ease the loss you bear. To my friend Ms. Elouise & family. From Eva Hardy

My sincere condolences to the Smith Family on your Loss. My heart goes out to Elouise (my mom) on the loss of Larry, someone who has been in her life for more than 30 years. They have done life together loving, arguing, vacationing,laughing,but most of all supporting each other through good and bad times. The Loss of Larry is heart breaking and the end of a wonderful friendship. Larry was a part of our family and his presence will truly be missed. One of his favorite sayings was "even when I'm wrong I'm right" I hope God is ready for the conversations he's about to have with Larry. RIP Larry you showed us love and we loved you! Pamela Spann
