Connie,
We have gotten to know you and your wonderful family through our grandson. It is evident that our grandson is blessed to have a loving family such as yours. Myles always talked about what he and Pops did and what they would be doing when he would visit. He loves you and he loved his Grandfather Pops, too. It is a blessing that you all were able to visit Florida in March and spend some time with the Florida family. We have and continue to pray that God will give our family, the Wiggintons, strength as you go through the earthly demise of Larry. You remain in our prayers.
Ron, Clara Wardlow, and Family –WE LOVE YOU ALL.

Lana, this is Larry’s daughter, I still live in Tampa. I sent you a long letter shortly after he passed because I didn’t know how else to reach you. I mailed it to the house address in your name in the Hillsborough County property records. I’m sorry you didn’t receive it. I’d love you to see you all again. My email is [email protected], & I’m also on facebook. Love you.
