to share openly with one another and perhaps meet some new friends not all of you know each other a lot of your way to say hello to somebody new because they know larry too and maybe you know in different ways and i think it's really important for you to take time to do that pray with me for a minute would you please good and gracious god bless this occasion in this time that it may indeed be

went home and i appreciate that i'm still here i love you guys about my heart from larry he's i'm sending each and every one of these two of them brothers and sisters something i learned from him years ago this is called the pilot's prayer and it was very near and dear to his heart  and for those of you that are over like thirty that's out before television stock started going twenty four hours a day that's how they get the television around two o'clock in the morning and they had high flight and so close but i first  she had to get approval for all that i what i do remember about my papa getting very intelligent and he listened to not only my words and my stress and everything else i brought to him he made sure he had something positive to tell me to leave with and that's something i will always remember and cherish i also have memories of us being young and how i never want to go he will be the want to try to tell me to go home in our own right home and he will be like whatever mom need anything you know i'm here so i just like to thank everybody for coming out today and being able to share the memories about the special man that everybody learn to love and to know the memories that i will always share there are so many  but this picture right here that he's making the funny pose he's mimicking me was easter we went to the park and you know i was trying to be cute i did a little pose and this is what he mimicked that's me posing as a very funny so a lot of the memories and stuff like larry you know they're just really dear to our heart a lot of good memories about education he made sure the education was really really a big factor with myself and also the boys with marcellus and i'm not going to think to speak of that book a but i remember i just recently started going back to school some of you know to further my education able to be in the know the male role model in my life the father that you know i never had the grandfather that my kids never had and you know there's not enough things that we could say just about him he's just a remarkable man he did a lot he accomplished a lot and you can truly say that he lived his life from you know being in the air boy to saving lives to being a father to being you know a husband to being a dad i mean all that so i'm i'm just really glad that we're able to come here and not warn him but really celebrate him you know this is representing the virgin islands this is well who he was this yard the plants you know the love in the friendship and stuff this is really who he was and he was  about so you know i just hope that everybody leaves here you know i'm feeling really good that they were able to meet this wonderful man and you know he's resting he's not in pain or anything like that anymore and again i just think everybody for coming out to education that's one of being thirty how to me on every time he saw me are you going to start school when are you going to start school how you know in school when you're going to school so you know again i thank him because he was one of the motivating factors that got started  a way down and all the way back to our work right away right about block away from the freeway and we look out and there's this lane standing here she's looking around we both got to look at each other we laugh and you know i mean well we said too much about it the rest of the way home but what was really funny about it was you know i think i got  and i my name is anna carr and i am very thankful to be as it was a long marriage for the start time that idea i can say that he was the greatest grandfather to my two great grand what it was but no matter how he felt the pain he made out of they do in the car live with he always made his appearance and i think that was the most wonderful thing that i can see in a grandfather and i think he was the greatest he so cool to be able to watch football with him and him being we call them the super fans and just a couple of one of the things i remember is i have a vuvuzela that was close to the little fights i have these and no matter what rangefinder he was there part of the game the whole game and like like she said i had no idea he was healthy because he was constantly abseiling i think the last time we were comparing him right there you go ok i will work on that we're just going to really meant to him and we're going to love on you guys and we know i wrote i know that he's looking down and he's watching us and he's going to keep all the kids safe and rooting for him and and wow what an opportunity for us to be able to get to know him and and smile with him and laugh with him with his big openly laugh thank you so much and thank you  i prided myself on making every single practice every single day whether it was raining or not and i would show up and i would lay out my clothes i would sit down to watch practice and every single car and just was walking down the field to thought some of the wrong or wonder where he was that he was always standing right next to me or wherever else was out there watching the practice and watching the game so he will be very well miss by everybody on the team and i know this year they're going to go out oh i was supposed to be a caregiver but it didn't turn out that way i came to visit and i hear your grandmother and grandfather and funny because he was so determined to get it to work and to prove us wrong because we're winning and we couldn't do it without him and we're always going to do without him but it was it was really nice to get to hang out with him when he was because he was amazing like he was always talking and telling stories and really about who is going to school who finish school and i would come over and he would do your homework do your homework leave allows us to be here helping him and he's telling me to do my homework like do your homework you have a test when you leave you do your homework do your homework so he was amazing for the short amount of time that i could see him get the heck i went in they were gone because it wasn't like i was coming  dad i don't have and you know he will be missed and you know all of them a lot i mean like a lot lot like he's always been there since i was a kid you know and you mean but yes i'm special people when i say your name if you stand up precious and my daughter i have something to give to you there's no words to say thank you for people who have put in a hard time and these last six months i'm going to say is the hardest time that i've ever put in in my life and so there is nothing i can say or do or give you to show you from my heart to your heart that i could not have got through these six months without each of you i mean you've always done something i've got family members who sat with them i've got a friend who he he wouldn't eat until she came over and she makes him laugh which is carol i've i've got people like kevin

of my friends that what i'm in bed everything is shut down they knock on the door and i don't even answer the door now we know why he's not here so times that we'll never be able to explain or talk about because those memories are a true you are we've grown he was my he was my friend before he was my husband when i met him i said when i grow up i want to be able to be just like him because he loved hisself he look in the win that what you want to talk about honey i said if you're god i'm in trouble but anyway i got to be the woman that i am i got to be who i wanted to be because he knew who he was he wasn't it wasn't looking for his self he knew who he was he knew where he came from he knew what he had accomplished so he could have his flag and he a lot he could step back and allow
