Treat everyone with kindness regardless of their circumstances. Don't pass judgement on people who are different than you. Pray often. Be humble. Give generously to others. Serve your community. Love your family and always be there for them. Be the friend who can be counted on in times of need. Laugh often. Smile often and put a smile on the face of others. Love your neighbor. Make the most out of every day. Don't put value on material things. Live beneath your means. Be joyful in all things big and small, then share your joy with others so that they may feel it, too. Find happiness in the smallest things. Have empathy. Give thanks to God for everything. This is to "Live like Larry". He was truly larger than life. He is incredibly loved and missed so much!
