Mr. Lawrence was known for his wonderful sense of humor and always the life of the party.  He really knew how to light up a room with his smile.  Ms. Betty, I'm so sorry to hear this news.  Hugs and kisses.  My guess is that my dad and Mr. Lawrence are having a good time up there waiting for us.  He will be missed.

Miss Betty, May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Heaven has acquired another angel.

Thr little time I knew you it seemed like internity.Lawrence you was a good man with jokes and laughter you will be missed by so many especially the kids that you helped.

You can't erase years of family memories by a death.You taught me to swim,to drive a car,my first date instuctions,moving to Germany and missing you and mamma,and then helping you after mamas' death.Our lives changed forever but we helped each other thru that tragic time.Through the years you showed my kids and then your great-grandkids every magic trick you knew.No one could ever do the "disappearing" quarter trick like you. May you now take a rest from all your activities and just catch up with family and friends.Love You

Hope R.E. has your spaghetti bordelaise ready and waitng for you. He loved adding extra garlic just for you. Neighborhood will not be the same. Marlene Johnson

Always had a joke to relate that brought a smile to everyone.  Will always remember your big heart and caring ways.  Always in my heart and prayers.

The lost of my Bro, is more then I can bare.may you do for the lord, what you have done for me. Thank you for being in my life.

A Great Man,Mason, Shriner, he truly cared for all, especially the sick children he had dedicated many years to, Rest in Peace my Brother...

Lawrence was a good man, a great noble and a dear friend and I will miss his dedication to our organozation and his great sense of humor but I will miss his friendship most of all. Heaven has just gotten a great new resident. Goodbye my friend - We will meeet again in the house in the heavens.

Mr Lawrence was the life of our parties.He was a funny man.HE will be missed .Jessica.LJ,Haleigh and Codi

Betty,

Lawrence was a wonderful man and we enjoyed spending many outings with you both.  We enjoyed the camp outs and also the side trips to fairs and festivals.

He will be missed by all who knew him, for to know him was to love him.  Our prayers are with you and all of your family at a time when only prayers can be of any assistance. 

God Bless, Love Jeanette and Rocky

Soft and safe to you, my brother, be your bed; bright and beautiful be your rising from it. With fragrance eternal may the sprig of acacia here flourish; may the earliest buds of spring unfold their beauties over this, your resting place; and here may the sweetness of the summer's last flowers linger longest. Though the cold blasts of winter may lay them in the dust and, for a time, destroy their loveliness, their fading is not final, and in the springtime they will surely bloom again. Thus, in the bright morning of the world's resurrection, your mortal frame, now laid in the dust, shall again spring into newness of life, and expand in immortal beauty in realms beyond the skies. Until then, my brother--Until then, farewell.
- Ray Bedwell Willian D. White #408 Gretna,La.

A great friend and camping buddy has been lost.  However he will still have his after life experience with the man above all of us.  Prayers to Betty and the entire family.

Death, be not proud

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
