Thank the Lord for the memories Lawrence got to build with Joy, Brooke and Randy at the beach. It was easy to see that he was a devoted family man. We pray the Lord gives his grace and mercy to the family during this time.

Lawrence was a sweet, wonderful witty friend who I will miss. I met him at Lynn View Senior Center where he exercised, played butterbean, etc. He really loved being there where he made alot of friends. I do remember him telling me once how he talked to Alexa (the voice on the tv). He was so funny at times. He will be missed! Condolences to his family and friends.
