Lela and family, I am sorry for your loss. I have "known" Lawrence all my life, since he was my dad's, Joe Miles, best man. There has always been much love and happiness when Dad and Mom talked about the young years when they were together so very much. Lawrence would always light up when I got to see him. Our prayers will be with you all. He will be missed, and that big smile!
