Iris & James,
When you think of Lawrence's life on earth and all those loving years, because you will miss him, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
We love and will miss him too.
Love,
Leroy & Lorette Bailey

To the Pulliam Family, you have my deepest and sincere prayers as you face the departure of Lawrence to take his seat in the Kingdom. He will surely be missed but he is now in a place where he will suffer no more! With all that he has recently gone through, we must try to find comfort in that fact. God Bless You All!

My heart goes out to Lawrence's family during this most difficult time. I hope you can find comfort in knowing that his pain is finally over and know that he has found everlasting peace in our heaven above.
Lawrence was a special part of my life when I was in junior high school. He was always looking out for me and protecting me, as if I was his little sister.
I will never forget him, and my heart will be full of memories of just how special he was to all of us.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
