If you have been reading the Godwriting blog, www.godwriting.org, you know about a wonderful couple from Montana who had sponsored a Godwriting workshop in Great Falls, Montana, and who drove up on their Harley to visit me in Fairfield, Iowa, just a few weeks ago, and so you have a little introduction to Larry and Carol. Here's the exact link if you haven't already read it:

Carol called me today with the sad news that Larry died in an accident today.
We all know that there is no such thing as death, and that must be why it seems so unreal to us because it is unreal. At the same time, we Human Beings would rather that our friends would stay on Earth right where we want them.
Well, Larry, we had some good times together. I thank you for flying me in your plane and for showing me Yellowstone Park. I thank you for coming to visit here and for taking me to the Lincoln Museum. I thank you for all your generosity and for the chance I had to get to know you. I'm going to miss you, Larry.
Carol, you were married forty-five years. What a tribute that is to both of you.
You know how sorry I am, and we're going to be in touch a lot, you and I.
God bless you always.
With love, Gloria
