To the Lawhorne Family,
I was so sorry to learn of Larry�s sudden passing. Reflecting on his life has brought back a flood of fond memories of days gone bye. Larry was one of my closest friends growing up, and we shared many great adventures together in good �ol small town Fernandina. I was so grateful to hear from Larry in later years that he had surrendered his life to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
I offer my deepest condolences to the entire family. May God grant you comfort and peace as you trust in His promises in the midst of your loss and grief.
Warm regards,
