My heart and my love will always belong to Bear just as his belonged to me, Melissa LeAnn Loomis. I'm going to miss him so much. I love you my husband, Larry Ben Loomis, til we meet again my love.
I am so sorry for your loss, my prayers are with you.
What a friendly, caring, loving friend Bear was to Johnny and me. I hate it for us that we won’t see him again on this side of Heaven, but we know he is there with Jesus now enjoying himself with no pain and no sorrows.
