Condolences to Larry’s loving family.
Sincere condolences go out to the family. Please find comfort and hope in the guarantee that soon death will be no more (Rev. 21: 3, 4) and the exciting promise that those we have lost will be reunited with us again (Acts 24:15 & Psalms 37:29).
My sincere condolences to the Nolen family. I only know his daughter Kimberly, but judging from her, he knew how to raise ‘em up right. God’s speed, Mr. Nolen.
Our thoughts and prayers go to Grace, Tammie, Lori & Kimberly and the rest of the family. We support you as you rally together to support each other and honor Larry’s legacy. Let us know what we can do to help.
I am sorry for your loss. Larry is missed.
God bless and remember he is smiling down on you.
