In Loving Memory

Anndreia Lawrence
1961-2012

Ron and Anndreia Lawrence are some dear old friends.  Our paths crossed many many years ago and we immediately bonded.  Some of our fondess memories include time spent with this couple.  Anndreia fought a five year battle with cancer, one that she lost on Wednesday, February 29.  

We listened this morning as her father-in-law and brother-in-law painted a wonderful and accurate
picture of her life with their words of attribution. 
Inside and out she was a beautiful and courageous person. 
She touched the souls of those who knew her. 
She will be missed.  

This morning, before the funeral, B.J. and I went to a walking trail near our house.  I walked and he took pictures.  After we got home and  looked over some of the shots he took, we couldn't help but to be reminded of the events of this weekend.

BROKEN

As is her family right now.  Their wife, mom, daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, aunt...is no longer with them and their world has been turned upside down. 
They have been left with a void that only God can fill.    

RAINDROPS
        
Remind us of the many tears that have been shed.

CARDINAL

TAKING FLIGHT

 As did Anndreia as she soared into Heaven on Wednesday.

NEW BUDS

Reminding us that Spring is just around the corner!
However, "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:
 but the word of our God shall stand for ever."
Isaiah 40:8
With His promise to us of eternal life
we will see you again one day soon, sweet Anndreia.
