14 Feb 2008 Dear Larry, It's been a long time since those days back in Westview! We all had a lot of fun, didn't we? I never thought we would lose you, you were one of the sweetest people around. My brother, Dewey, went to Vietnam also, but we were lucky enough to get him back... I wish your family had been as lucky. Always know you will never be forgotten and always be loved. Love, Suzy Baker Suzy Baker-Zeidler suzytootsieroll@aol.com
