Love

Love is patient, Love is kind, and is not jealous; Love does brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8)

Larry,

May you rest in peace Larry, you have helped me and are an incredible wonderful person. My son thought a lot of you, you had many things in common. You helped me when at I was at my lowest point and when I needed a phone call or knock on the door, I would pray to the Lord for that that knock or phone call would come form someone, and five seconds later there you were. You were an inspiration and getting to meet and know you came from the Lord. I probably know you better than anyone else except for the Lord. I will see you in Heaven someday.

To the Johnson family and friends,

My prayers are with you, Larry is now in Heaven with no more pain or suffering and I think Larry would like us to think of him in wonderful memories not in conflict.

Love you all, praying for you all.
