I was glad to have met Lawrence at the hospital with his son Cary and his wife Helen. Even though for a short time, he was smiling to know that I was a good friend of Cary and John Estrella. This was a wonderful man with a great Son that loved him so very much.

Greatest Sympathy to the family,

I was the first to see my father after he went on his journey to God; I placed a Rosary around his head to help him make his journey, and offered prayers from Helen Dolfin and myself.



His Eldest Son,

Stephen
