Happy Heavenly Birthday, Larry! I miss you so much and today even more than ever! Can't keep the tears from flowing because it doesn't seem as though it's been this long. My heart is heavy and aching because you're not here for me to touch, hold, talk to, laugh with, kiss on or just lay my eyes on. I'm remembering ALL the good times, things, places and memories we made and shared. No matter what these will never fade! I can truly say you basically raised me to be a better person and to try and fulfill all my dreams and desires thank you for that. Take care my King you're forever missed and loved from this universe to the next. I know that you and all our ancestors are still here supporting me and our family at this time. I'll love you always and forever Larry E Carlton!🥳🎈🎉😢💔
