Mr. Lawrence, Carl and family,
I was so saddened to read of the passing of Mrs. Lawrence. When I was a child, her son Carl was married to my cousin Gail Hatchell. I have fond memories of her visits to my home, of her laughter and of her beauty inside and out. My mom has shared with me how lovingly Mr. Lawrence has cared for her since her declinging health and mental status. God will surely bless you for loving her so much and for being so faithful. Carl I know that you will miss your mom terribly and it will take a long time for that ache to ease. I know from losing my dad last year. Please know that Christ will strengthen you each day if you will let him. My love and prayers are with you all.

In Christian Love,
Crystal Elliott Davis
