I am a long time friend, customer, and vendor that came to know the sweetest couple… Larry and Jalle. It’s so very sad to see that both of these greatest individuals have gone to be with the lord. I have so many fond memories of both of them. My hear goes out to the families as I know this has left a huge hole in your heart. May God give you the peace to help mend your hearts….
I have many fond memories of Larry and Jalle and Mr. and Mrs. Porter helping me buy flooring for our home. . I think the first item I bought for our home after moving to Viking Drive nearly 60 years ago was flooring from Porter’s. They quickly became friends and made me feel like part of the family. This photo of Jalle with the sweet smile is the way I will always remember her because she always wore that smile and spoke in her soft voice. She made a difference. in our community. Much love to Joanne and all the family.
Prayers for the Porter family , you had wonderful parents who were loved by many ❤️
Linda and I were truly blessed having Larry and Jalle as friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with
the family.
