Dear Millie,
I am so sorry for your loss, Lawrence had such a sweet manner and wonderful smile (his eyes smiled too). I know he will be very missed
by his family and friends. I will always remember him hiding eggs at Granny's house on Easter Sunday, it is a beloved memory, he was patient and kind with us all. I wish I could have been there with all of you, but we now live 550 miles away. I pray that God will give you all peace and comfort in the days to come. Alhough I wasn't there physically my heart was with you.
I Love You always sweet cousin,
Kim
