To the Lawless Family: I am so sorry to read about Frank and Margaret passing away as I was on this website to leave my condolence's for someone else's family. I had the pleasure of working with Marge Lawless at Bomar Crystal Company when I was in high school in Middlesex. Marge taught me many things and I truly loved her and her spirit. I met Frank when Marge invited me over one day to meet the family who I found so endearing. My mom Martha worked at Bomar too and she past away in January 2005. God bless Frank and Marge and you the family they leave behind. They will always be remembered and forever missed. Love, Debbie Bergen in Middlesex
