Larry. 

Words cannot express how much you are missed by everyone you've ever met, known and loved and how hard we are all finding it to believe that you are no longer with us and find the meaning you would have helped us discover in your passing. 

Even though it's been a week, I'm in denial that I will never get to see you again or get a random IM passing by to say hello and see how I am, you will always be with me and all of the people you care about. 

You lived your life with so much compassion and heart - the inspiration of your life and the friendship you shared with me, and the persistence in which you refused to let me ever feel alone or down and out even when others chose to abandon me and avoid complications.....will always stay with me. 

I  know I will always remember you and be reminded to appreciate the good in life and to be optimistic and sure that everything will be alright and does happen for a reason when I do.  You and your life were an inspiration to all of us.  One of those rare and special people who truly knew what it meant to be a friend and live with meaning...thank you for your friendship, for your kind words and for sharing your life with all of us and me.

I will miss you, but this is not goodbye...for your messages will stay with me and I know I will meet you again someday...  Rest In Peace Larry.  Thank you for bringing meaning into all of our lives.
