SAMUEL LAWANSON Obituary

Ten years ago today you left us for a better place, to be with the Lord. You are truly missed, although your spirit and memories continue to carry us through each and every day. We miss your sense of humor, bright smile, and laugh, but most of all you not being here with us. You were a special person to so many family, friends and co-workers, leaving a void in many lives. You will never be forgotten and will always be loved by your family and friends. Love you forever, Your family and friends

I was a student of yours at FCC. You encouraged myself & roommate to register for a language course. I always felt welcomed in your presence. I also recall the laundry business you also managed. You had a bright spirit.

Sammy was like a brother to me. I worked with him at PVSP, and I will always consider it my pleasure to have done so. In fact, it was Sammy that I first spoke with when I arrived for my first day on the job. I will never forget the going away breakfast that Sammy helped arrange. Sammy gave me a big, strong hug, with tears in his eyes. This was the last time that I saw Sammy alive. Rest In Peace Sammy. You will never be forgotten by me. I look forward to seeing that big smile again someday. God bless you, and those that you left here on Planet Earth to carry on your legacy.
