During my time of losing my father it has been difficult. I have looked back at all we shared and I am blessed he is responsible for the man I am today. The love we shared with each other will never die because Lawrence will always be alive in me because like my mother said I am my daddies son. Daddy, I love you and know you are at peace and with the first love of your life, Mother. You told me how much you missed and loved your wife and now you are back together watching over your children together at and in peace. We all miss you. Love your baby boy Malcolm! Thank everyone for your heartfelt thoughts and prayers, I love you all.
