There are people who drift into our lives for just a brief moment, yet have a tremendous impact. Laurence was one of those people for me. I had the privilege of sharing a number of family holidays with Laurence, Danny, and Bud as Iris became an integral part of their lives. I remember the pride with which Bud gazed upon his boys; and the reaction my much younger son had as he witnessed the camaraderie and deep friendship Laurence and Danny shared. I loved watching Laurence take Justine under his wing, and lavish her with such special attention. Who would have ever guessed that the life of such a vibrant young man would end so abruptly, so senselessly? As his family requested so elegantly at the services, let Laurence be remembered for his life, not his death - his unbelievable zest for life, his adoration for his parents and his brother, his enduring friendships. And all of those lucky to have known him at all will be that much more enriched for the experience.
