We thank God you all have chosen to serve others in such profoundly meaningful ways. Aunt Lawrene blessed our family with her gracious and loving ways for 92 years. She taught us Rummy and Canasta, enlivened our family table with her laughter, and shared countless detailed recollection of the past and people we were so eager to know. Lawrene was a loyal and caring sister and sister-in-law, and she loved her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. We miss her beyond words, but we believe God's promises are true - "Breast your cards, Auntie Lawrene, we'll see you again soon. We love you."
