I remember my cousin Larry as a wonderfully kind and peaceful man. Even though I didn't see him very often, I knew our family ties ran deep and our parent's faith and family loyalty is a steady connection for the large Breunig clan that we both are a part of. Rest in peace. I will always remember you. Patty Gallagher Marchant
