He was a great man. My parents enjoyed his visits when he stopped to let them know what was going on while farming their place.He will be missed by all who knew him.
Dear Roeber family,
I am Deb’s friend from when we were both in Colorado. Deb is a wonderful person and I always have thought she has a beautiful family. I had the pleasure of meeting Larry and Sharon at Deb and Kirk’s wedding – I knew instantly why Deb loved her parents so much and why she is such a wonderful person – truly outstanding parents! I cannot imagine the loss that you are all feeling. I am so sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love Wendy
With pen in hand we find it hard to express feeling of soft hearted tears for you, Sharon Roeber. We wish you to feel the comfort of friends and family. Most of all the comfort of knowing your beloved husband, Larry Roeber has been restored to the man of his youth. He is now with those who waited beyond the veil for him. We pray that our words of comfort will help you through this difficult time. God bless us all with comfort. Kimberly Heier
