Dear Mum and Family, Mum thank you for all the love and care you gave dad. He loved you with all hisheart. You showed great strength, love, compassion, and kindness as you helped him through his journey. You always said, “There will never be anyone like Laurieâ€, and you are so right. You were his rock and he often said he could do anything as long as you were by his side. Lawrence, Alison, and Thomas I could not ask for more supportive, helpful, and wonderful siblings. Dad was so proud of all of you. You enriched his life in so many ways and you helped lesson his struggles these past few months. Mike thank you for your wonderful support and for being so great with my dad, he thought the world of you. Kathie you were an absolute angel to my dad. Lisa you brought great joy to my dad when you visited. My lovely nieces, nephews, and children, thank you for being so great to Papa; he loved you so much and was so proud of all of you. I admired my dad so much. His wisdom, unconditional love, kindness, determination, good heartedness, and can do spirit inspired me. He worked so hard for his family and always put us first. He gave us so many gifts, stories, and memories to treasure. I have been blessed with an amazing father and family.Love Ann
