    Our sympathy to Larry’s family. We knew Larry’s parents though the Vacek family (who always spoke so highly of the Peters), and send condolences to Jan and Ron Cook, as well. Blessings to all the family.

    Larry was my oldest cousin, and a big part of my life when we were growing up. We spent every major holiday and birthday together. He was really my big brother, and a significant influence for me. Larry was always fun and enthusiastic, and tolerated hanging out with his younger cousin like a champion. He was the “cool” guy i always looked up to and the instigator of many great adventures with my other cousins and me. We remained in touch through adulthood, and I always looked forward to our next opportunity to see each other. You will be very much missed, my beloved cousin and friend.

      Larry Peters was my husband and had a rather unique 20 some years as many do, but the best of our marriage was our two boys Justin and Ryan they meant the world to us. When Larry got sick him and I grew closer than we had been in many years, texting, talking on the phone about how we wished we could turn back time. Larry and I getting along meant the world to our sons. One of our last times together, we hugged and cried, he was doing better in remission, so we all went on a vacation. It wasn’t the leukemia that took him away from us ,it was a freak accident, he fell while we were all gone. Larry was a veteran and I pray that the flag and marker he has coming to him will go to our sons Justin and Ryan for remembrance.

    Larry and I we’re married over 20 years. We had our ups and downs like many familys do. Now’s the time to remember all the good times. The best part of our marriage was our sons, Justin Wesley an Ryan Elliott. They meant the world to us. When Larry got sick him and I grew closer than we had been iin many years. Texting, talking on the phone about how we wished we could back time. Larry and I getting along meant the world to our sons. One of our last times together we hugged and cried. He told me to be strong, and I told him he’d make it through. He was doing better, in remission, Walking further and furher each day. He was doing so well we all went on a short vacation. It wasn’t the leukemia that got him, but a fall down the stairs. I know, as a veteran Larry is entitled to the flag and a marker. I would love if our boys could have these as a remembrance of theit dad.
