We miss you ALOT! Andrew's graduation in June, Terry's birthday Friday. They both said their days didn't seem complete because you weren't there. You always came over for dinner and cake on Terry's birthday. He didn't even want a cake this year. We love and miss you very much.

Uncle Lawrence, I'm sad to say the last time we spoke was at my grandpa's calling hours. (James Baker) The Lord knows good men when he sees them. I know you and grandpa are watching over our family.

We were sitting here tonight: Terry, Mitchell, Andrew and myself. You came across our conversation as we discussed the dogs, your life and how you were a main part of everything. It is so hurtful to know we can't just call you, or see you, even just have you over for dinner. Time doesn't heal the wounds of the loss, it never gets easier.

You were on our minds today as the football playoffs came on. You would have been upset at some of the turnouts towards the Superbowl. We sure wish you would have been here. But, we know you had a front row seat to it all. Love you and miss you .

Larry, another year is about to come upon us. How are we to get through it knowing you won't be with us? It's pretty hard when not a day goes by you aren't thought of, remembered through a memory, remembered from a photo.... You would never want us to dwell on it, this I know. However, You were a dear person to so many and I personally hope you are seeing all the hearts around you. We miss you so

Chunky, Larry see's and hears all!! The good the bad and the ugly. God help those with the latter attitude! I share in your thought however. We miss him SO MUCH and especially now, with Christmas coming knowing he should be over here at our house watching football, telling the Redskins off for making a dumb move. Eating Ham and all the fixin's with us. HE is our Guardian Angel :))

As we sit here and the days tick by, we still can't believe you aren't going to walk in the door. Terry has a hard time with not being able to call you everyday, just see how you are. We would give anything to hear you fuss about someone in the world that has done wrong. Kim may say " You were NOTHING to my dad, Jackie " But we know the truth. Sometimes Those who weren't around don't. Miss you DAD

Larry, So many things have changed since you left us.Hurt has transformed into disbelief and all the while none of your children has truly taken into consideration your thoughts and your beliefs as you lived. It has been about THINGS, about possessions in their eyes.. WHen I knew you well enough to know that those were NOT your greatest treasures. Love & Family, those were your TRUE treasures.

I sure wish you were here bubby. You wouldn't believe what has happened in the past couple weeks. Why is it that it takes the death of a wonderful person to show how much people really suck. They are actually fighting over the little pile of shit that you left on this earth and I for one can't take it. Love and miss you OLD MAN

I can remember evrytime I went anywhere in public with him he would blow up on somebody and if he couldn't find anyone in the store to blow up on he would blow up on me. He taught me more about everything than even he knew himself. I FUKENMISSIM so FUKENMUCH.

It's hard to put into words how good of a friend Larry was to me. From the first time I met him at Chunky & Leigh's house until the last time I saw him, he was always kind and generous, until you got on a subject that riled him up. Then you had better look out. He could out debate most people I know. I will forever miss having him as a friend. Things will never be the same. XOXO

Larry, thanks for always being who you were. Thanks for all the support you gave to sideshow addiction over the years. I will miss seeing you dancing with one of the girls. Thanks for the many storys you would tell and the many hours of laughter. You will be missed by MANY! May the four winds blow you safely home........(~);}

I miss you PawPaw, its crazy to think that I can't just pick up the phone and call you when I want to talk to you, its crazy I wont be able to stay the night with you and go hunting the next morning and eat bacon and eggs with you. But you tought me a lot of things and I'll never forget the times I got to spend with you and the lessons learned. I know you are always with us.Love you always PawPaw.

Paw Paw... I love you and miss you very much, but I know you are in HEAVEN and in a much better place. Maybe its us being selfish to want you back so bad knowing your in the HOUSE of GOD, but I guess we cant help it. I'm going to be there for MOM and DAD and ANDREW and try to make better efforts to talk and see everybody. I know you are with us and we love you and will always remember your life

I AM FREE

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God laid for me
I took His hand when I heard Him call
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day, to laugh,
to love, to work or play.
Tasks undone must stay that way
I've found that peace at the close of the day.

If parting has left a void, then fill it
with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah, yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much
Good friends, good times,
a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me,
God wants me now, He set me free.

Dad, we love you and miss you SO VERY MUCH!!!! I'm so glad that I was fortunate enough to marry into your family and be a BAKER forevermore. You were my father for 22 years of my life, although selfishly, I would love to see your smiling face and hear your boisterous laugh again, God has called you home to walk with him. I love you dad.
Jackie Baker

Not The Same

August 2, 2011
01 - If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away

It's August already in 2011. It's coming up on a year since  you left us all and it's a day we don't even want to think about. But we live it each day because you've never left our minds , or our hearts. Andrew graduated high school this year, along with your beautiful grand-daughter Anna. As I stood beside Andrew on this special day for him, he said to me, " I'm Happy Mama, but Paw Paw isn't here, so it isn't the same. I miss him so much " In my heart, I know you looked from Heaven on those days of Anna and Andrew and stood proud along side Jesus.  Terry just had his birthday, a day where you always came over for dinner and cake. Terry didn't even want a cake this year, I could see in his face, he thought about you that day ( as with many others )  and he was sad to not have his dad present. HE told us his greatest present he could have would be to have " His dad back , standing right here " . You were loved Larry, by us all and you held a special part is each Heart you left behind.

Special Times

March 25, 2011

Back in 1988 when Terry ( Larry's son ) and I got together, Larry and Terry used to attend the weekly Billiard tournament at Midway Diner in Lanexa, Virginia. There was a time when Mark ( Larry's son) would come here and they would all three enter the tournaments. Well, needless to say, BILLIARDS was the Baker specialty and look out to anyone who was unlucky enough to go against one of them, let alone two or three of them ! lol After so many tournaments and it was always a BAKER that won... The diner got to the point where, in all fairness they would only allow ONE of the BAKER"S to enter the tournament. lol What a time that was!

This video was the last one we got of Larry ( Dad ) . He passed away 11 days later. We loved this time with him, celebrating his 70 th birthday, spending time at his home, cooking out. And he had 3 of his grandbabies there with him.. Andrew, Ashley and Alesha. Mark  and Terry ( His sons ) and Missy and Jackie ( Daughter in-laws ) In this video Terry was recording and Terry and Mark were making fun of his beard he had decided to grow out. His last words in the video.... Terry said , ' I love you Dad. "  Larry said " I love you too.". God how we miss his presence!
