What a lovely tribute to an amazing man! I cry reading what a life-changing example of a human he was. I am honored to have known him through your writing. Thank you for sharing the beauty of him!
Thank you for this tribute! All these memories are so healing to our hearts to hear...we know Lar left such a huge legacy. Thank you for your memories, words, tears and kindness.
Katie, sitting with your father-in-law, my Dear Teacher (your love for him, by the way, is so very evident in all that you are writing and sharing with us and all you are doing for him now - thank you), yesterday afternoon and just allowing the memories to surface and wash over me was a quiet way to give him as much of my heart as I could. Even now I cannot stem the tide of tears at our loss but it's also because of so much unspeakable gratitude toward him. I guess, one of the beautiful reasons God gave us tears is to express what we otherwise simply could not. Thank you so much for this message. All my prayers and love are with you and your family.
Thank you so much, Ryan. Thank you for your poem which perfectly captures who he is. I am so very, very grateful that he, through such tremendous love, is such a redeeming and powerful part of my story, and those of so many others. My heart and deep prayers are with you and your mom and your family during this acutely tender time.
Yes...it loves on in you and so many others, my precious daughter. And, now look at what you are doing in service to this world...Yes, thank you, Mr. Hallum.
