Thinking of all of the Lawless' and the extended family. I remember the school vacations I spent in Wayland, summers in Osterville, and all with Uncle Bud. Although we'll miss him, he's given us wonderful memories and knowing he's out of pain and in heaven with Aunt Lois, makes it ok.

Love to all,

Karen

Nancy, Richard and Kevin, Kevin McDonough And I were just laughing and reflecting on some of the great times we had working for your dad in Lexington. Personally, I cherish and reflect on all the things your dad taught me about life at a very important age. Your dad will never be forgotten he was an exceptional individual! I am sorry I can't be with you to celebrate his life but you can be sure you will be in my thoughts and prayers.



Very Sincerely,



Bill Wilkes
