Hello Manang Ella, 

From the Chaloping family (we used to be in Marivic), we send you our condolences. Please grieve as you must. Do not hold your tears. I am sure you have Let go of your husband, and you are Letting God take the rest of everything.

We take comfort from the fact that life does not end here on earth, and the passing away of a loved one is a transition to that Life we are to have with our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ -- forever!  We shall see our loved ones again!!! What great hope indeed.

We hug you in prayers, Manang Ella, at this time, and we want you to feel you are not alone. II Corinthians 4:8-9.

Dear Lawson family
I just wanted to share a memory of Mr Lawson. I work at Jervey Eye and Mr Lawson was the sweetest man. I remember a time she. He came in for his appointment and my day was not very good. We talked a bit and before I knew it we were talking about what I was going through and there in the room he said “well let’s just pray about it” and right there he prayed for me and my situation. It meant so much to me. He was always talking to the other patients about God and always will to listen to others. He will be missed. 

Pastor Ken did not only wed us in Rome Baptist Church on April 6,1997, but he also brought us to Jesus Christ.
Precious memories treasured deep in our hearts, Pastor Ken. 
Our deepest sympathy to manang Ella and the whole family.


What we will always remember about uncle Ken is his kindness, and his many preaching stories. His love for the Lord was obvious, and he could make anyone feel like family just being in his presence. Truly Christ-like. We are thankful for your impact on our life. We will miss you dearly.   David and Sharon. 

What a wonderful memory. Aunt Ella came to visit us on our Charleston vacation, and uncle Ken drove her there. We had a wonderful time visiting with them, touring the city and reminiscing about old times. We were so thankful for Ken making the effort to bring us together for this wonderful visit. It will always be a dear memory in our hearts. 

To sister Ella and family,
God called home another faithful servant.
We shared good memories, laughter, and joy, and now that he left us, we share your grief and pain at his passing. 
Please accept our sincere sympathies and condolences. 
Our prayers and thoughts are with you.- Camilo and Lita and family ❤️💐

Lots of precious and warm memories shared with Pastor Ken. When I first came to Rome Baptist church, Pastor Ken greeted me with such sweet, welcoming and genuine caring words, I knew then that RBC would be my home away from home.  I will always remember and forever grateful for his encouragement and support, specially when my father had open heart surgery.  He was always so supportive of ministries of the Filipino group in RBC. You will always be in our hearts, Pastor Ken...

He was a beautiful baby !!!  Had that smirky smile from the beginning 

My most precious memory of a humble and loving Pastor Ken Lawson of Rome Baptist Church  in Piazza San Lorenzo, Rome- Italy. I will always treasure your loving kindness in my heart ❤️ Hugs and prayers of comfort to Sis. Ella and all Lawson family. 

Dearest Manang Ella,

My sincerest condolences. 

My prayers are with you and the family.

Dear Ella and family,  sincere sympathy to all of you in the passing of Donnan.  I have such sweet memories of the two of you when he was Chaplin of our Inman Seniors Dinner Group.  Also remember his early morning exercise group at Inman First Baptist gym. My sister, Cris Williams, was a member for years and she always spoke fondly of his friendship and ministering during their time together.  Heaven has gained another angel.  Donnan will be missed by many.  May you find comfort in your precious memories.

       My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time. A life well lived for sure. 

Marion and family,

I am so sorry for your loss. Your dad did a great work while on earth.
 I am sure he heard the words we all want to hear "His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord."  

28 yrs. ago, my niece Milcah Jezreel Zara, was dedicated to the Lord, now she is with her fiancee, planning to get married next year, and i thought I can still share it  with you some pictures of the up coming event in her life next year. 
Here are some pictures  we have had together, the memories we had with you will always be keep in my heart, till we meet again Pastor Ken, we love you❤❤❤!

During our simple wedding ceremony in November 21, 1993; four months after both of us were saved by our Sovereign Lord.  

In behalf of my family, and brethren in Christ, our deepest and sincerely sympathy  to sister Ella and to all of you, "Lawson's family". I know it's sad to think that Pastor Ken has passed away, but this sadness is somehow has turns to joy, because we know that he is with our Lord and in good condition, no more pain and sufferings. While he was with you all, he lives for Christ and serve Him faithfully, and now that his ministry for Christ and his fight is through, for him to die is gain. 2Tim 4:7, Phil. 1:21 KJV
I thank God for his life and he having been,  a part of our lives, he will be always remembered and love because he's a good person and special servant of God.

Pastor Ken is our guest speaker in Bible Baptist Church of Metro Toronto .

My heartfelt condolences to Lawsons family

The Lawson cousins at my Mama and Daddy's 50th anniversary party in 1999. Sweet Donnan's standing next to me and sharing his smile. We spread out throughout the country and world, so moments like this were few and far between, but that made cousins time all the more special. 💓

Dear Lawson family.
You have my deepest sympathy in the homegoing of Preacher Ken. He has been a blessing to our family in many ways for many years.  He will be sorely missed at Glenwood Baptist Church, where he has ministered for many years.
Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks for loving us so. You will always be remembered and kept in our hearts. We love you.

The Batson & Evans families have a deep love and respect for Pastor Ken & Ella.  Ken's promotion to God's Glory increases our desire to be a part of God's Great Reunion where we will share the eternal love of Jesus with him again in our Father's house.  Surely goodness and mercy has followed Ken all the days of his life, and has greatly benefitted our families.

Dear Ella, Glenda & Family,  
We are so sorry to hear about Donnan. He was such a good man. He  loved his God and his family. We will remember you in our prayers.

Donnan was a great encouragement to me when I arrived at Holly Springs. He was a blessing to many people and a great witness for Jesus!

My heart is broken after hearing about Donnan! Inman SC and Holston Creek loved Donnan and Ella and have missed him living here! I’m blessed that Donna was a part of our family for so many years!  He helped me cope with my Mother’s death in 2002 and many others throughout the years! I loved to call him on the phone and hear his Voice and have him pray with me! There will never be another Donna Lawson! He knew I loved him and he Loved Me! How thankful I am that GOD brought him into my life for all these years! We love you Ella! Our thoughts and prayers are with his family❤️🙏✝️
