Paulette and Family
I am sorry to find out that your husband/father has passed away. I had to attend another funeral service for a dear friends' father this morning at the same time so I was unable to attend. May all of you find peace in knowing how much he cared for each of you and that it was returned to him. I know there are trying times ahead but remember the love that will be everlasting in your hearts.

I spent so much of my childhood at Lake House. Every time I visited my Maw at work, Mr. Lawrence and Mrs. Paulette would let us pick a flower from the cooler. He always felt like an uncle. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
