Message from Bill and Edie Wiseman

Dear Kathy and family:

It was with a heavy heart that we read of the passing of Pastor Larry.
Although it has been awhile since we have seen him or been to Paramount Baptist, he always had a special place in our heart.
He was instrumental in my coming back to Christ.
I looked forward to hearing from him every week for the new sigh message, a lot of times I wondered how the title could be brought into his message and relate to the bible but it always did.
We so enjoyed his sermons for feeding our spirits.
He will be missed greatly  but we can rejoice in knowing that he is now with Jesus and is awaiting our arrival.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.
We are sorry that we will not be able to see you but we will be out of town.

Again, love and prayers to all of you.

Yours in Christ

Bill and Edie Wiseman

Message from Mike & Joan Hebert

Kathy my dear friend, my heart aches for you and the children. Larry and I worked at Mack Trucks together for a number of years. I still remember going to the Skyline drive with you, Larry and Bryan. Larry was a good man, a good friend and a great family man. Although I haven't seen you and Larry for quite a while Joanie and I still reminisce of the times that we spent together.. RIP my dear friend and may the God's Holy Grace shine on your family.

Mike and Joan Hebert.

Dear Kathy & Family - It saddened my heart to know Dr. Rickard is no longer with us but then there is a peace and joy to know he is home now - just where he wants to be. His memories of all who knew him will make his passing a little easier as I know it will with the Rickard family also. I am so glad Kathy said it was okay to stop in at the hospital to see him. He didn't know I was there but I am so glad I went to see him. Again Kathy, Thank you! Our loss is Heaven's gain...another Angel will be singing today. May God's everlasting love bring all of you peace and joy today!

To Kathy and the family,
We always considered brother Larry to be a wonderful colleague and friend. What a privilege it was working with him over those many years. We are encouraged knowing that he is with the Lord and free from this life’s trials.
May God‘s presence and peace be yours in the days ahead.
In Christ,

Dear Kathy, and Family,
Pastor Larry was the best Pastor we ever had! He is greatly missed by many people. Pastor Larry was always there for us.
He told us one time at Wednesday Night Bible Study that he was going to plant trees that grew chocolate on his Heavenly Mansion ground. When Eric and I think of him we always remember how much he loved his chocolate.
We are very sorry for your great loss!

God Bless all of you,
Eric, Keith, and Lynne Boppe
