Life Story for Annie Lawrence

Even though our Family is going through the grief and sorrow brought about by the passing of a Loving Wife, mother and Grandmother, we have been enlightened in spirit and uplifted in our memories. The abundance of love and affection shown to us by your personal condolences, cards, emails, messages, an abundance and variety of foods and generous monetary donations (Pulmonary Fibrosis Ass.) have demonstrated not only good deeds and good actions, but deep respect and good will regarding our Family.

The expression of gratitude and acknowledgement may be somewhat premature, but your response has been so overwhelming. I felt compelled to extend to you and yours, our heartfelt sentiments. Your outreach is beyond our imagination and words cannot adequately express the good will, thoughtfulness, love and caring attitude which has encompassed us throughout this ordeal.

Annie was the postal clerk in her community of St. Jacques for many years. During this time, she became familiar with the residents of the community. She was blessed with a very pleasant and smiling face. Her happy face reflected her appealing personality; people whom she encountered bonded with her even though she was merely passing through their space and time. Her social life was graced with a deep respect for her fellow men and women. Her compassion, fellowship and interacment was illustrated by the pall-bearers, who escorted her from the nearly-packed St. Michael’s Church, accompanied with the rhythm of ‘Music & Friends’.

You have touched our lives in a very personal manner through ways and means which are truly appreciated. May you be touched in a very special way through an abundance of good health and good will.

A sincere Thank-You to each and every one who have shared our grief and sorrow.

Respectfully Yours
Lenus Lawrence & Family
