Dr. Lawrence was one of the best Doctors I have had the pleasure of being treated by. He was a class act. My prayers for both him and his family.

Dr. Lawrence and his whole family will always have a special place in my heart. He and his wife treated me like a daughter while I was growing up with their daughter Barbara. This is a wonderful loving family and my thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of sorrow. Love to you all.

Being a childhood friend and classmate of Andy Jr. at St. Patrick's School, I have such wonderful memories of Dr. Lawrence. Especially at Andy's birthday parties.
