Loved ones, please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of grief. Find comfort in knowing that all Lawrence's suffering has ceased. Death for him is simply the absence of life. Showing that death is a state of unconsciousness, Ecclesiastes 9:5 says "as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all." Allow yourselves to be strengthened knowing that Almighty God, the Creator of life, has not only the power but also the desire to restore life to all whom he chooses. (Acts 24:15) Endless life free of all pain and worries is the future that God is offering to Lawrence and all others who exercise faith in his Son. (John 3:16) Our condolences!
