Sending my thoughts a prayers to my cousin Lawrence and family. I just found out tonight Sunday December 15, 2024 that she passed away. She taught my son Caden at Butler Elementary School in Savannah Ga prior to her retirement. She was a wonderful teacher and always full of joy. I saw her once after retirement in the store thats in the area where she lived. I wished I had known she was my cousin by marriage before now. May She Rest In Peace.

Words can't express how deeply I and the kids will miss you. She was like a second mom to me, who treated me like her child. She was a wonderful grandmother to all her grandchildren. I will miss her laughter, hearing her voice and she was funny. She had a sweet personality,I remember us having so much fun shopping and just being around her was a blast. And if you was around her, you know you were going to have good time. She enjoyed decorating and especially for tent business. The biggest thing she enjoyed the most was the grandkids. She didn't play when it comes to them. We're going to miss you so much . You left us so soon, and we'll continue to make you proud and we know how much you loved us and we love you too. We'll hold you forever in our hearts and in spirit. Until we meet again, you're in God's hand now. Gods's wonder angel From : Jamie, Brandon, Antonio, Kimora DeLaney Savannah GA
