    Mrs. Lawrence was my babysitter while I was in elementary school at Sunset Park. This morning I happen to drive by her house in Sunset which I have not been by in YEARS. I did not know of her passing until this afternoon and just find how God works in such ways. I remember Mrs. Lawrence’s soft, kind voice. I know it’s been 45 years and I still remember her bubble lights on her Christmas tree. I remember how she was such a gentle spirit. I’m so sorry for the family and their loss.

  6. Larry, Dan, Karen, I am so sad to hear of your loss. I so many fond memories of her as a child growing up with Dan. Use to love climbing the fence into your backyard to visit. She was always so sweet to me. She always had some good baking goods to eat when I was there. Her love of music, art, and gardening was obvious. She was definitely one of my neighborhood moms. I was blessed to be raised in such a great neighborhood and have roll models like her. Prayers go to you all.
