Since knowing my uncle Lawrence (from my birth, through growing up when we all lived on Foster Street with my grandmother Maebell, and through adulthood), he was an expression of selfless kindness to so many. When our lives are but a whisper on this earth, may this legacy of him, his kindness to every soul, be ever so indelibly planted in our hearts.
