How can anyone even put in words how they feel for you and lucy right now?? I've been thinking about you guys all week. I was never lucky enough to have met Lari, but from talking to you I knew she was awesome. Coming from someone who has lost a lot over the short years i've been alive, please remember that 1- its ok to ask for help 2- you will hear people say sorry all the time, just let them 3- try your very very best to remember everything because the older we get the harder it is and don't ever be afraid to ask for other people's memories too and 4- it is ok to cry and always will be.

You have always been a great friend and at this time I am at a loss. I know you guys probably prepared for this day, but it isn't always easy, even though she isn't in pain anymore. You are such a strong person and she saw that in you. It's not the end remember. :)

Woa, sorry that was long. But you have my support always and if you need a pie, a babysitter, anything just call!!

This is the most incredible obituary I've ever read, it describes her perfectly and I LOVE this picture of her. I know it wasn't easy to write, but you did a WONDERFUL job and she is very proud of everything you are doing for her right now. We love you.

I'm pretty sure that Lari chose to go to pie heaven just for you :)

I think the worst part is when everyone asks how you're doing as though you even know how to answer that one politely right now. I still haven't come up with a good answer. So, if you do, let me know, but you should know that people will ask, a lot.

You can call or send an e-mail anytime if you want to talk. If you're like me, you'll deal with most things alone, but you do have lots of friends and family to lean on for support.

I wish I could be there.

I agree with the other comments, the obit was perfect. Lari looks so happy and beautiful in the picture. I also agree with Liz about pie heaven.

I'm so sorry Scott. I really am at a loss as to what to say. I only wish that I could provide words that would give you comfort but I know that nothing I can say will take your pain away. Please just know that we are thinking of you and praying for you and your sweet Lucy. We are here for you should you ever need us and we would be honored to help with Lucy, yard work, meals anything you can think of. Much love. The Bentley's.

I am not sure you know who I am, but I did colorguard with Lariann, and I was in the first ward before it split. I just want you to know that you and Lucy have been in my thoughts and prayers. I have seen so many blog entries about your amazing wife and I am sure the heavens are flooded with prayers in your behalf. I cant imagine how hard this trial must be for you, but the savior does. Good luck.
