Dear Pat, We got the most grievous call today while we are in Rochester, Minnesota, having Ben checked out at the Mayo Clinic. We, like you, are in a dismal state of shock. Larry was so "up" Friday night when we last saw him. We will be unable to physically attend his funeral, but our hearts and prayers will be with you and your family. Larry was an extraordinary person. We are so fortunate to have gotten to know him. Your life will be quite different, but we are counting on you to keep in touch with us and spend time, when you are ready, recounting the most blessed moments of your Life with Larry. You have our deepest sympathies, Ben and Virginia
