Larry became as another son following the development of a relationship resulting through the Navigators at the Iowa State University. His father had a business requiring traveling to Des Moines frequently. His traveling took him right passed our home. Larry often stopped to have lunch or dinner. His younger brother was the same age as our twin boys. With the invitation of two if the twins friends, a weekly bible study became a reality resulting in several boys becoming followers of Jesus. Larry was becoming as another son. The twins and I were together the day we learned of his "home going." We stopped our activities and prayed thanking God for Larry's life and having known the joy of experiencing eternal life together.
