So sad to loose such a sweet gentleman. Enjoyed our visits after mass on Sunday. My heart breaks for your loss Edith. I can't even imagine the pain. He is resting in peace now with the Lord and his friends and family that passed. God rest your soul Lawrence and peace be with the family.
Heaven has another angel. Lawrence had such a sense of innocence about him, even in all his wisdom. God Bless us all.
Love from the PLAISANCE and POINCOT families.
