So sorry for Trista’s loss and his dad, and siblings’ loss. I am a cousin and haven’t seen him since we were kids (I live in Texas). I have a lot of memories of many times visiting Aunt Sis and Uncle Jerry and our cousins at their farm, and our families visiting each Christmas at the Frahm family gathering in Correctionville. Rest in peace, Larry. I’m sure your mom was waiting with open arms.

My sweet cousin, my heart is broken. You always cared more about how I was feeling, always checking on me. Always telling me you loved me and calling me your sweetie. I will have a huge void in my life without you in it. I wasn't ready for this.
