LAWRENCE RICHARDS II

Dear Loni & Family,

I was deeply saddened to learn of Lawry's passing and am sorry I was not able to attend his memorial services due to family responsibilities and illness.

Getting to know both of you through the bond of church music has been a joy, and I have missed working with you during his illness. He is truly a gentleman and a scholar, and your love and devotion to each other was a beautiful thing to witness. Your cheerful and positive attitudes during your...

Dear Loni, We are sorry to hear of the passing of your sweet husband, and wish to extend our deepest sympathy.

Dear Loni and boys,

I was privileged to know Lawry when he and Loni were in the Butler 7th Ward for a short time.

God Bless you and comfort you as you go through your mortal life without him. We love you.

Carol Morris and family

You boys ware so blessed to have Lawry for your father. he was such a positive man. He knew how to show his love for those around him and always made me feel happy and good about myself whenever I talked to him. I love you Aunt Loni and can somewhat understand how it feels to see someone you love and shared so much of life with suffer. Lawry's positive approach to everything gave you all so much additional time and memories together. My heart goes out to you all.

Love,
...

Lawry was a great uncle who will be missed. He was a great example of how to raise a family. I will always remember him giving me a hard time (jokingly) about everything and always related well to me growing up. I think he did a great job raising his sons and made sure he set them forward on the right path. We all have a lot to be grateful for and I am glad I got to know Uncle Lawry and to be even a small part of his life

I went to Olympus Junior High with Lawry and heard him play Warsaw Concerto on the piano in a talent show there. I thought he was just the "coolest" kid in town after that. I always wondered what happened with his talent, so I am glad to read that he continued to play...and that he had a wonderful life. Although I know you will miss him terribly, you - his family - are blessed to have had him in your life.

Karen and I love you Loni and your Lawry. Our lives are better as a result of your friendship, and for knowing your shared courage in facing adversity these most recent times. Lawry was a great teacher, musician,friend, and brother. We pray for you and your family during these lonely days. Bless you.

Brother Lawry Richards made me laugh every time I saw him and was a dear friend to our family. During my youth, Lawry welcomed me into his home, coached me in baseball, and showed through his actions how one should live. Lawry's love for the Gospel and his wonderful family will forever bless his friends and family. Lawry has not gone far and will continue to bless his family as he serves the Lord and waits for his beautiful wife and great children.
