My thoughts and prayers for my brother-in-law, Larry who is at peace in a better place. The little time I had with him will always be in my heart with thoughts of his kindness and gentleness. Mary Lou, also in the short time I have known you, you have shared wonderful stories of Larry that I know will bring you many pleasant, loving memories of him.

Today, I am saddened to learn of the passing of our brother and friend Larry Biggs. I am blessed, during pivotal years, to have had the influence of positive role models and teachers–like this man; So today I am also proud to say that I have had the benefit of having Larry Biggs in my life. There is not a single seed of his kindness, humor, and patience (particularly for me)-that has been wasted . For as sure as any of us who stand and remember him today–that seed blossoms and grows in our lives–helping us to be more kind, patient, to laugh and to enjoy the small moments—To be better people. My condolonces to His family–Mrs.Biggs, Missy, Phillip.
Peace be apoun you.
