It hurts me to my heart to know such a great person has left our lives. Lawrence was so caring and giving. I saw so many instances where he would give to people he didn't even know and talk to them like he knew them forever. He never judged people and he always sat and "listened". So I ask that his kids take that one gift from him and LISTEN to the things around you - and if it doesn't sit right - do as Lawrence did and challenge it. He would always say that so many people don't know how to think for themselves and he would ask you with every statement - "WHY? Is that what you feel or is that what someone else feels." Friend Always, Lawrence and comforting wishes to his family.

Lawrence you will never be forgotten, sending all my love and prayers to Samanthy, Lawrence, and Lawrencia. While both joy and sorrow are fleeting, and often intertwined, love has the power to overcome both. And love can last forever.

To the Hargrove Family:

In this difficult time in your lives, may you be comforted by God's word, the Bible. James 4:8 encourages; "Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you".

My condolences,
