The doctors have made some adjustments with Larry's medications and he is resting very comfortably today. When he wakes up he is aware of who is around and mutters just a bit, but he seems to forget where he is and why. He wants to know when he's going home. He wants to see his house. It's so nice to finally see him resting peacefully with no signs of discomfort.

Ginger and I will read all the blog comments to him today. The doctor assures us that he hears what is said and we know he will find comfort in the love and support so many of you have shared.

Much love,

Terri and family

Terri,
That is good news. I am glad that he is finally getting some comfort. Someone else commented earlier how cool it is to see all the comments people have shared and I have loved reading all of them as well. I see this group of people all woven together through the love that you and Larry have poured out on people through the years.

That worship song "Blessed be the Name" keeps coming to my mind and you and your family really exemplify that song because your hearts just keep lifting praise to the Lord and I KNOW that it is having an affect on everyone around you and even through this blog. I am praying for all of you continually and know that you are never far from my thoughts. Please tell Larry we love him so much.

I'm SO glad they've made some medicinal changes so Larry is more comfortable!! That makes it easier for him, but it makes it easier for you, as well!

Love you & praying for you!

Terri,
My Mom told me this morning about Larry. I wanted to catch up on what is going on, and the BLOG is very helpful. I am sure you are exhausted as well and some days you probably don't feel like typing to the BLOG.
Well, I will be praying for you guys. I will pray that the Lord will ease Larry's situation and give you a comfort that you have never felt before. My heart is so heavy for you guys right now. Tell Larry I appreciate all that he did to show me kindness when I was a young girl and that he was always such a bright light with his wonderful smile! You, Terri, are such a comforting soul with such a sweet spirit. Please tell Ginger that I will be praying for her. I know she must be so torn...knowing that her kids need her and how badly she probably wants to stay with Larry 24/7. May the Lord surround you with His peace and love today.

I'm so glad to hear that Larry is resting comfortably! I know that makes things easier for all of you! I pray that this will be a time of rest for all of you.

It is so neat to see all who love you guys so much! Seeing different people bloging sure brings back lots of different memories of Larry – from high school youth group at First Wesleyan to working with Larry at Piedmont Media Group! He was there for me when I needed a job after college! There are many wonderful memories. I’m so grateful for the time and energy you all invested in my life. I pray the Lord will bless you beyond what you could think or imagine just as you all have been a blessing to me! Please tell Lar I love him and that I'm so very thankful for all he has done for me and for David!


I pray that the Lord will continue to give you all much strength, peace and rest!

Love you, the boys and the family so much!

Hello,

It's Philip Powell back from Leading Edge Video days, when we shared an office space with him over on Northpointe. I heard about Larry and it both Rob and I are praying for you both. In all my years in business I never heard Larry raise his voice in anger. He is a funny, and kind hearted soul. He taught me a lot about audio techniques I still use to this day. We will continue to pray for you all. Tell Larry we love him.

Dear Terri and Larry, Justin and Josh, and Ginger,

Larry, we are so glad that they have your pain under control. There is so much you have accomplished in the lives of so many young people. We're so grateful for the influence that you and Terri have had in the lives of our children. The Jamaica trips have been such an eye opener and turning point for so many teens. You two were so faithful in that ministry for years and the influence will be passed on to their children in the future. We'll always be there for your family, as you have been there for ours. We are praying for you! Our love and prayers, Carolyn and Ed

Terri,

Max and I continue to pray for you. I keep Alicia updated too and she sends her prayers. I want you to know that I fully understand where you are at as far as praying for healing or going home. When my mom was in this position 20 years ago I did the same. It's hard to pray to let them go home but the pain you see them go through is hard to watch. The hurt of lossing them is tremendous but the joy of knowing they are going to be with the Lord and be totally healed is the comfort you need during this time. I know you are exhausted but God will keep you going. Give Larry our love as well as the rest of the family.

Love,
Carolyn Nance
