Brother Larry was a member of The Greatest Generation, one of those, who in the words of FDR, 'made the world safe for democracy'. May God's grace find him a home in the Hall of Heroes in 'that house not made with hands'.

Cozens family and friends. Im so sorry for your loss. Its not easy sayinggoodbye to someone you love.The bible talks about how soon death will be no more. (Revelation 21:4) It also talks about a time when we will be able to see our dead loved ones again, which is found at John 5:28, 29. I hope this brings you both hope and encouragement.
