We are thanking the Lord Jesus for bringing our paths together as we remember the good times we shared with Lawrence aka Larry. 
Remembering one of Larry’s strong interests was in helping retired veterans with the paperwork needed to receive their veterans benefits. He was very serious about it and did not stop until they received them. As we look in the scripture in Ecclesiastes 3:13-14, we find that we are a gift from God, and everything that God does is forever, and nothing from creation can add to it or take away from it. God knows the plans He has for us. 

With caring thoughts and prayers, Chief Apostle Martice Smith (sister)

Sending prayers for our sister-in-law and our family. Our Father, which art in heaven, we come humbly in repentance, asking for forgiveness. Lord Jesus, we also ask for you to carry us with your strength and comfort us in our time of pain and sadness. Lord Jesus, we are asking you to continue to make your face shine upon us and we thank you for good memories of our loved one. We will let our life reflect you and help bring joy to others, in Jesus Christ’s name we pray, amen.

Warm and deepest sympathies, Chief Apostle Martice Smith

Hello Ms Gwen,

Sending condolences to you and your loved ones on the passing of my Uncle Larry.  He was a kind soul.  I remember him like yesterday, picking me up in Germany to assist my dad and his wife and her kids back to the States.  Sending prayers to you. 

Sincerely,
Niece Tanya Smith

Larry was a childhood friends and we grew up together in Kansas City, Missouri in the ”East-End” Neighborhood. We attended elementary and high schools together. Larry was an outstanding athlete and excelled in all sports beyond his age group and was always promoted to a higher level. In many ways this reflected his life, for he adapted to every environment with skill. He inherited a business approach to life. for his father rubbed off on him well as he journeyed through life with success. Thanks my friend for all the memories from “The End”!!!

My uncle Larry will be very much missed , the United States Air force veteran was quite a character what ever room he was in he kept it full of smile's laughter . Uncle Larry always had something we could brag on him about  , I'm very proud of my uncle , we always talked about his baseball career and him being a third degree black belt on top of all that he was a Air force veteran .  May the Almighty bless my uncle he will always be loved.
