Anita, Ryan, Mark and Penny,
So sorry for your loss. We will be praying that God heals your sorrow and heart ache. I can only imagine the reunion the family is having in Heaven. Miss you all.
Love you all Dana Bennett Tucker (Ding)
Anita and family,
I got to meet you and Larry in March 2011 on a Holiday Vacations trip to Hawaii. I really enjoyed having dinner with you both and reminiscing about the old neighborhood in West Fairview. Anita, you graduated with my brother, Ron Peters. Ron was in the Air Force during the Vietnam War.
Tenderly may time heal your sorrow. Gently may friends and family ease your pain. Softly may peace replace heartache.
