Dear Friends,

Most of you are aware but for those who have not heard the news, Larry died on Sunday, June 13. I was laying next to him, holding his hand, the windows were open and we could hear the birds as we rested in the early evening calm. A hummingbird repeatedly stopped at the feeder outside of the window. He was not in pain and I hope that I helped ease his passing from the physical world to the spiritual one. No matter how prepared we felt we were, it was so hard to say those final goodbyes. 

Once we learned in early April the the Keytruda treatments were not working, we did not post updates. We spent that time with as many people as we could. We had visitors every single day for the past 3 months and it meant a lot to Larry to have those opportunities to say goodbye in person after a full year of isolation due to Covid-19. There were many health issues that popped up in those months and constant changes in medications. But Larry adapted to the continuous narrowing of his independence and gradual loss of abilities and still found enjoyment in life. He slowly lost strength as cancer robbed him of his muscles yet he continued to do as much as he could and never waivered in maintaining a positive outlook. We had many moments of joy over the course of the last year and I will forever treasure the time we got to spend together. 

Here is a link to his obituary. Thank to all of you for your many years of friendship and support
