With Sympathy & Caring: In the Bible we find a wonderful hope for those we loss in death “the Resurrection.” For God promise “there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous..” Like Lazarus, your beloved Minnie can one day live again right here on earth. Acts 24:15 John 11:43,44

To the Lawrence Family.... I send my deepest condolences to you and may comfort you during this time of bereavement. God Bless all of you and I know you are smiling down on us.
Although, my mother and her were really close friends she would whisper little stuff in my ear and we would laugh. I will miss us making wise cracks and her staying on me about getting a job with the healthcare team. Miss you Minnie. Love, peace and happiness. Cassandra Williams and Family of Mableton, Georgia
