Benny Roberson says
Lawrence and I were brothers in the beginning of our lives. When I was very young, I remember I was trying to say a hard word.Lawrence was trying to help me say it the correct way. Lawrence, I know you can’t hear me now, but I have always loved you, and hope to see you again on resurrection morning. When at the presence of the Lord Jesus He opens all of the tombs of His sleeping saints! Rest in peace Lawrence…till the morning of all morning breaks forth and heavenly angels escorts us to meet Jesus in the air. To ever be with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Righteous One!
