I'm so sorry to learn of Tony's passing. I've been trying to locate him these past few months to see how he was doing. We served in the Marines together on embassy duty. He was a great guy and I enjoyed our many talks. I miss him greatly.

I Express my sympathy to the family of Mr. Anthony Lawrence he was a kind, respectful, funny man, and he always talked about Janice, and we would talk everyday at work, he would bring so much joy and light to any situation. And we spoke several times after he left CCA, and I told Anthony that we would always stay in touch. May you rest in peace, and May God touch The Lawrence Family in a mighty way during this time. John 14:1-8, In Jesus Name I Pray Amen.
