A General has gone home

The father of Larry Savala has gone home to rest in the Peace of his God.  Uniquely, this is exactly the birthday of his son who was murdered nearly 2 years ago.

I was concerned when I called my good friend Larry - to have that burden of losing his Dad on the anniversary of his son's birthday.  Larry made my heart glad when he said, "It's like a gift!  They are having a reunion together now."

Thanks Larry, for encouraging me, even in the midst of your time of seperation and loss.
