How does one describe an Earth angel? I'll do my best. After the initial shock of seeing your loved one hooked up to 100 different pumps and machines, you cry. I don't mean one or two tears, I mean the ugly crying. Your eyes burn, your heart aches, and time suddenly stands still. Friends and family come and go, but then there is the silence in the room. The machines get louder. Every beeping noise makes your heart stop. This emotional and physical process takes its toll and fatigue starts to set in. Slowly, but surely you just end up watching and waiting. Then you realize, all this time, someone never stopped. Someone never gets tired. Someone never stops being attentive and so compassionate. That someone has been Larry. His smile has been so comforting. His passion for his career shines through his hard work. We cannot imagine going through this difficult time without Larry, who we are convinced, is our Earth angel. Thank you Larry for taking such great care of our mother. We love you!
