Lawrence you will be so missed. I'll remember the 66 Station, the snowball wars, deer camp, the moonshine jug, the corny jokes and all of the good times and good visits. You were one special man and friend. At least you can catch up with Nat, Bill and my dad now.
Kerrieann Mayes-Skuran - Family Friend
The stories you use to tell were always worth time spent. We can just see you at those pretty white gates right now, telling one of those great tales and everyone seated listening to you. Gosh, we will miss you. Imagene, if there is anything we can do for you, just call. You're in our thoughts and prayers!
David And Melissa Jameson & Family - Partner In Business/long Time Friend
Your smile was the first thing I saw the first time I walked through the doors at Prairie Oaks. You made everyone feel so welcome. You will be sorely missed until we meet again....May the Lord bring comfort to those you had to leave behind.
Paul Remington - Friend
What an honor to have known Lawrence. When he worked at the gas station he always would stop what he was doing and wave and yell! I just learned to roll down my window so I could yell back! He had such a wonderful sense of humor! We will miss him as I know you will. God's Blessings Lynda & Larry
