Sorry for your loss
I know I havent seen Larry for many many years. My memories of him revolve around me hero worshiping. He was a great guy and I already miss not being able to visit him again.
Im so sorry he has passed and I know he will be missed.
I haven’t seen Larry in years. He’s always with a smile and a big heart. RIP LARRY. THANK YOU fOR OUR FREEDOM. Diana Swain Weck.
Larry was a very nice man. I am sorry to learn of his passing. I wish the family peace during this difficult time for you all.
Im writing to express my condolences for your loss. I didnt know Mr. Swain personally, but I find comfort in the assurance us of Gods love for surviving relatives and friends found in his word.
Isaiah 41:10 & 13 reads: Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness. 13For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, The One saying to you, Do not be afraid. I will help you.
When Jesus Christ was on earth, he was eager to display his God-given power which included bringing back to life those who have died. Gods word reveals that in the very near future he will restore life to ALL those we have lost in death (John 5:28, 29). Until then, I pray you find comfort from your family, friends and the scriptures.
Christian love.
