The family of Larry C. Landers of Jacksonville, AR announces his passing, and invites all who knew him to remember him here.
What follows is not the whole story, but a thread of it.
Larry held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew him best.
Faith gave Larry a place to stand, and a place to return to.
