Brother Lawrence will truly be missed. He was my cushion, my comfort blanket, my go to person. He always knew what to say about any situation or circumstances that I presented to him. He truly loved the LORD and has many to Christ by the life that he lived and the prayers that he gave. I met many great people through the love of Brother Lawrence. I would like especially thank his caregiver, who took excellent care of him for the past few years.
God Bless you Brother Lawrence. Rest on my brother. You fought a good fight, lived life to the fullest and you finished strong.
I will see you when I get there.
Love You Always
