PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Larry. My love and prayers to your family at this time.
Our thoughts and prayers to Rocky and the family!! Jim Hawkins Family
When I was growing up, I thought fellow Baldwinite Larry Garriott was larger than life. He was a big, strong guy…with a wonderful personality…could be a fun rascal at times…and had just the coolest car ever…an orange Judge. He dearly loved his family and was a true, loyal friend to all. I’m especially thankful for Larry and Rocky’s love and tolerance of my rascal brother Johnie. God bless you and your family, Larry, rest in peace, dear friend.
My heart is heavy with the loss of Larry. We were pretty good buds in high school! Always loading “The Judge” full of friends! I will miss him dearly. Rocky and Carma, you were blessed with your family. I loved Flossie and Carlos dearly. My prayers are with all if you at this time.
Know you are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the days ahead with the many wonderful memories you have.
Hillary, We are so sorry for your loss, we will be praying for your family as you say goodbye to Uncle Larry. Knowing you will see him again one day very soon is the comfort we all have. We love you Hillary.
Dear James,
Our hearts go out to you and your family today in the loss of your Dad. Sending hugs and blessings to you.

So sorry to hear of Larrys passing. Myself and others had the privilege of traveling with Larry and friends to the ’78 Arkansas, Oklahoma Orange Bowl football game in Miami, Florida. What a fun guy he was and good memories of Larry…Many prayers sent to the Garriott family for sure…
Larry was a great friend and business partner. We are praying for Jason and Jamie in the loss of their father.
Carma and Rocky and Family ,Our deepest sympathy for your loss, Larry will be missed by many.
James, you and Jason have not left my thoughts for a moment. I know you are exhausted, and on auto pilot. Please know that I love you dearly and continue to pray your sorrows can be lightened a bit by remembering what a great Daddy you had, ad how much love and laughter he gave you. This is honestly not a total goodbye. You have to learn how to communicate in a different method. The love that your Father gave to you is airing in your heart,and you can access it whenever you need it. Nothing can take that kind of love away.
Lisa, James, and Ollie, I’m sorry for your loss. You and your amazing family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.
Rocky and family,
I am so sorry to have missed Larry’s funeral today. I had meant to go, but, got distracted with other family issues. No excuse, though. Mama and I sincerely send our condolences on your loss, both for Larry and Carlos.
I remember spending many a summer day playing football, riding horses and generally running wild with Larry and several other neighborhood boys here at the farm. He was a corker and always good for an exaggerated story or two. And always ready with a smile. Always trying to charm the girls.
Rocky, if you or any of your family need anything, please do not hesitate to call on us. We still live here on the old chicken farm. Or just come by for a visit.

Dear family of Larry Garriott: Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathy on the loss of you’re dear loved one. Death is such a tragedy for all of us, and when it touches us personally, it’s sometimes difficult to find the comfort that we search for. Our loving Heavenly Father Jehovah, who is the God of all comfort, feels empathy for those who have lost a loved one in death, and therefore promises to swallow up death forever and eliminate all pain and suffering. (Please read Revelation 21:4 and Isaiah 25:8) Jesus gave even more reason for hope at John 5:28,29 where he explains: “…all those in the memorial tombs…will come out…” As you read the above texts in you’re Bible, may they give you hope and comfort, during this most difficult time. Again, my deepest sympathy. David Cowles
