Lawrence, truly the best of us leave too soon..Rest in peace bro...

Lawrence aka Bele. That I'm writing this now, doesn't mean I've come to terms with your passing away. NO! I just know It's something I have to do, tell the world you were an awesome and great friend and brother.
You will definitely be missed. Not in the way one misses people who leave is behind, but in a way when some things are done or there's a gathering, your absence would be definitely noticed and felt. Your mouth watering BBQs.
Chai! Bele you don waka leave us sha! God don get better Mai suya for Him side be that.
I Pray heaven's doors open up for you and welcome you home. I pray God stands by your family, provides for them, blesses them, showers them with unending love, mercy, favour, and his heavenly blessings in such a way, they will feel you're there pulling the strings.

Rest in Peace bro. JPT

Larger than Life is what Lawrence was to me. He poured himself in all , he came in contact with but now we all mourning because he was greatly loved.
My brother, your smile, your ease in providing solutions, your infectious laughter.
I cry, I am crying , trying to comfort myself but it is not possible. No good bye , so sudden, so painful. Never to see you again, nor talk to you, your laughter but all is now memories. You slept too soon. Miss you and missing you my brother. Adieu. 

I spent 10 minutes in the early morning of the 16th, explaining to someone, just how much of a comrade or a big brother you are when you are not doing a performance review. That is the part being a member of your team made one feel special. Little did I know, you had left to meet our Maker.

I cut short the first 2 callers that tried to tell me something had happened. Even after I had allowed myself to be informed, it was the reality of a condolence register and your signature display photo that brought me to terms with what is now our reality of life without you.

As you would say when the dung hit the fan, I knew it was time to face it.

So many words have been used to describe you and they are synonymous with Daddy, Adviser, Critical Thinker, Brother and a good Friend. God Bless and protect your legacy for this kindness to humanity through us.

We miss your leadership, your friendship and each person cherishes your relationship. You have indeed left a vacuum for your family but God is able: He will give you eternal peace and comfort your family.

Oga De Law! I remember warmly, our first meeting on your resumption day to join us at Adeola Hopewell branch. You returned from the UK to manage the then Construction Desk of National Corporate SBU. Colleagues who knew you at Marina branch spoke very highly of you. I got to know you as a catalyst of industry at the office: generous with your time while motivating colleagues. I got to know you as an all-around decent guy, an example of emulation-worthy collegiality and camaraderie! Rest In Peace Lawrence, and may the good Lord give your family the fortitude to bear your loss!

Law, Rest in Perfect Peace. You should be writing a tribute about or for me not the other way round. Anyhow, God knows best. May He grant the loved ones you left behind the fortitude to bear their loss.
Amen.

Rest in eternal glory Lawrence. We worked briefly together in VI1 then and I was excited you would make managing a particular account very easy... i was shocked to hear of your passing.. indeed, you are gone too soon. My prayers are with Jane and your little boy. God bless your departed soul...

It still feels like a bad dream that I’m actually writing Lawrence’s tribute. We spoke just last week and you said you were going into a meeting and you’d ring back... so you never would? And if I try to call back to continue our conversation, you’d never pick?

I’ll always remember the pep talks and brotherly advise and I take solace in knowing that you touched so many lives positively (mine inclusive) in your own unique way. I also know that you are in a better place.

Oh Lawrence, You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered... God rest your lovely soul; adieu, Lawrence, adieu!

I still can’t believe this sad news but God sure knows best and we cannot question Him.
Rest in perfect peace Lawrence till we meet to part no more! I pray God’s comfort for your dear family.

Oga The Law! VI1 is not a mere building but a place in my heart for many special people. Your passing creates a huge vacuum in that space. May God look mercifully upon you and help your family through this period and beyond, Amen

Words may never be able to express this, neither can we ask why...you saw things differently, you were firm, yet natural....your passing unto glory is yet another reminder to the rest of us, that we should live our lives in such a way as to give glory to the Owner of the breath of life and to fear Him alone, so that when our time is up, we are sure of our place in His kingdom, reigning with the Almighty God, the Most Merciful, where we shall meet to part no more....Egbon atata, sun re o....

Dear Lawrence,

It's truly amazing how we all come and will all go someday....just never imagined our meeting would be a brief one here on earth......

I recall your inert ability to curse out non-performing spirit (s) out of laggards at each MPR....some dreaded you without knowing how you truly were...a sweet, fun-loving, caring, compassionate, empathetic, mentoring, humorous and a damn right Great GUY!...

I believe you made right with God, so I bid you farewell to your eternal resting place, in our Lord's bossom, D'law!...

Laaa n'udo nwanne m...I ll miss you greatly for always believing and encouraging me

its WELL!

Ijeomaaaaa ooooo !!!

The Law - I met you for the first time early 2018 after my redeployment to Lagos! Very cheerful, helpful and hardworking! Anytime we met or talked, we always compared notes, shared our work challenges and plans. I still called you some days ago to congratulate you on your well deserved promotion! We lost a great guy but God knows best! I will miss you. You are in a better place - rest on bro!

The last time I met Lawrence was during one of our meetings in head office early 2020 or so. Warm and humorous as usual...always calm and positive.

It's tough to express the shock and chills this breaking news loaded in us especially shortly after we cheered your promotion. This, again, reminds us that we are not in control of some life constants no matter how strong we appear.

Dear Lawrence, rest in peace in the Lord's bossom. Amen.

Dear Ziggy,

I bid you farewell as you soar on angel’s wings. Rest on warrior, rest on. On angels wings we bid you farewell.

We will miss your camaraderie, ever bubbly, ever friendly, life of the party you were. One couldn’t be in your company and not feel the presence of a jolly good fellow. There was never a dull moment with you. Farewell to you as we pray you find eternal rest.

Indeed heaven has gained an angel.

My dearest Lawrence,

I still cannot believe I am writing this. It’s like a bad dream and I cannot wake up. I never thought that this could happen to you and so suddenly! The shock is unbearable! My heart is broken.

I can’t even comprehend what Mummy and your wife are going through. This is a big loss to our family, and you are leaving behind a gaping hole that could never be filled in. I will always remember you fondly and May your Soul Rest in Perfect Peace. Amen!

Till we meet again Cuz! Love you lots.

I could not believe the news of your demise at first. Though we worked together for a short period, you were of positive influence and good vibes. Rest in peace brother.

I still cant believe your gone. You was one of the most caring, funniest people I have ever been fortunate to meet. Lawrence you will be sadley missed and thought of often. God bless you and keep you safe, until we meet again. ❤❤❤

Such a sad loss of a wonderful man. I cant believe your gone. You will be sorely missed by everyone you ever met. Rip Lawrence xxx

I can't believe this has happend to you my friend i will never forget you . the time you spent at my house will be cherished you will not be forgotten my friend r.i.p Lawrence xx

Really? Still very shocking that you are no more! I recall your call to me in 2020 about the plans for a family reunion/get together; you were really excited about it. I would never have taught that it would be our last conversation.

You really had a large heart, ever cheerful and bubbly. May you keep smiling as you continue to rest with the Lord! Rest In Peace Bros Law.

May God grant succor to Jane, your son and all your loved ones you left behind. Amen.

The Law, the outpouring of emotions, grief and attestation of your good deeds confirm the aphorism that life is not about how long but how well. You lived well and touched humanity in many ways. We pray God to grant you eternal rest and grant Jane, the entire family and friends the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.

Rest in Peace Lawrence. Only God knows why you left so soon.

The Law. I can’t believe I am writing this after all our plans for 2021. Saw and held you so tight on Friday and didn’t know that was going to be the last time. I know you have gone to be with Lord and free from sickness . I pray God grant your mum,siblings ,wife and Liam the fortitude to bear this huge loss. Rest In Peace Lawrence.

Da Boss....I worked with you for less than 3 months and I noticed the pure soul you have despite the gra-gra. The world has lost someone special. I pray you immediate family get the fortitude from God to bear this loss. Rest in peace... sir.

Boss, you were a good man and it aches to see you go too soon. May Christ rest your soul and give your family and friends the fortitude to bear this loss.

Topeeee as you call me with your soft words , what do you need ? You never tire of my calls as you are always available to listen. You were my God sent Doctor even at my darkest hour.
You became my friend, my mentor.
your words of advise and encouragement i always look forward to, I still remember our last conversation like it was yesterday.
You will forever be in my ❤
RIP my Daddy as I fondly call you.

Jaaaacckieee...in your sing-song voice.
Dear Lawrence, thank you for always being so kind and sweet to me. May you rest in perfect perfect peace above, as we pray for your family here. It is well Lawrence...

God saw that he was getting tired,
A cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around him
and whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes, we watched him suffer,
And saw him fade away.
Although we loved him dearly,
We could not make him stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes “The Best”.
RIP Sweet Uncle

No amount of tears will bring you back and it hurts so badly to accept that you’re gone, Thank you so much for the kindness and all that you instilled in me, thank you for the life lessons I’ll Forever cherish and uphold them. You were indeed a great friend and boss. Rest on Lawrence, Heavenly father bless your soul and grant you eternal rest

I call him exclusive yellowman. We met on the job and we became brothers not just friends. We watch out for each other and woke up our consciousness when we are about to derail in our private and work lives. Am still in shock that Lawrence has departed just like that!!!!!!!!!
You are in a better place pally... Continue to rest peacefully bro..... Hmmmmmm

Lawrence "Bellz" OJEAGA...how will I ever forget you. The life and love we shared at school with our other friends was so precious and it's what most of us will hold on to, for the rest of our lives.

I would love to admit that you're in a more glorious place but the fact of this is really heavy for me. Indeed the truth hurts...
It's all for me (for us) to do now. To live a life worthy of Divinity's approval. I'll strive and I'll pray on that at the end of my time here on earth, heaven beckons on me too, because I've just got to see you again.

I remember the first day we met at your office when you took over as the new area manager of Diamond bank VI. That was the beginning our journey together, we clicked and not only worked as colleagues but we became friends. Lawrence I will miss you so much, you have left a big vacuum in my life. I will continue to uphold your legacies.

Big Brother and Coz, cannot believe you are gone. Thanks for your words of advice . May God send angels to be by your side, forgive your sins that you may be with Christ in Heaven. I will miss you. You are in God s hands and a better place.

Dad! I called you this because you played the role perfectly in my life. You were my protector and motivator, you made me strive to be a better person. We could talk about any and everything. You still called me on Saturday 13th telling me about “lori Iro” and how you’re now up to date with social media bants. I cannot believe you’re no longer here with us. I would miss your abuses, your laughter everything! This was not the plan, there’s still so much I need you for. Your death has left such a vacuum I miss you so much Lawrence. I’m grateful for the friendship we had. I’ll love you forever RIP

The news of your demise came as as shock. If I had a wish come true, it would be to undo what had already been done though I know you are in a better place. We hold you in our heart until we are together again. Adieu Uncle Law

I remember being introduced to you the very first day I resumed at Diamond bank. The connection clicked and you became a friend, mentor, leader all in one. You were so down to earth and was always ready to assist even when you were not in a position to do so. I still can't believe you are gone. I write this tribute with teary eyes but with total assurance that you are with the angels. Rest in peace and power Lawrence. May God keep you till we meet again some day.

Law it's came as a shock when l heard about your demise, hmmmm who can question God our creator but to give him thanks in everything.
Though we love you but God loves you more am sure you would have seen Daddy Wilson, Daddy Thomas your dad and my lovely Mum Roseline Ehizibue let them know they will forever be in our hearts because they are UNFORGETTABLE.
ADIEU LAW till we meet at the Lord's Feet.
Keep Resting in His Bossom dearest cousin

Words truly fail me.
This is one event I never ever could have imagined....
I just keep thinking about your constant jovial disposition. I couldn't see you and not laugh!
It's a tough one to accept. But God is good.
Rest well. You're missed!

I still can't believe you are no longer with us but knows best , you will forever be missed dearest causin. Keep resting in the bosom of the lord

Ohhh....I still can't process this but i know you're in a better place with that Heart of Gold that you've got!...you are Kind, selfless, humble, generous and your words of encouragement will linger on!

Keep resting in the bossom of the Lord.

I miss you "motherfucker" Lawrence.

So where do i even start?im livid,shaking and in pain.
My Cuz.My Big Bro.Always full of life and always wanted the best for me.
You are resting now far away from this cold world.Arrrhhhhggg....Still in Denial.

Sleep well my Dearest LAW

Dear Lawrence, it's hard to believe you are no longer here with us. Your liveliness will be missed as well as your undying support for your friends. We know you have gone to a better world and we pray that you get peace, love and greatness there. May angels watch over you!

My Area Father, my sweet boss, my liquid metal, this was not the plan. We agreed to give up red meat totally for Lent. When we spoke on Monday, the 15th, you said you were going just for check up that we will talk in the evening when you return. Oh death! you have hit me where it hurts the most. Who will fill this vaccum that you have created in my heart? Delaw, you were a great boss, kind, selfless, soft at heart and peaceful . You took special interest in your team's personal development. You had an invaluable impact in my career.You encouraged, advised and supported us in your best ways. You believed in me even when I did not. You were my mother's adopted son because of the love you showed to my family. This is too hard for me to bear. I pray that your soul will continue to rest peacefully in Heaven's glory and that God will grant your family the grace to bear this great loss. .....Ije oma Nwoke oma.

My heart is still bleeding. No matter how hard and long I cry, you will never come back. Words fail me Lawrence. You were not only a boss but a good friend and a loving uncle to my kid. Continue to rest in the Lord. I am hurting too much God knows. RIP Belle as you were fondly called.

Lawry Lawry...like i fundly called you. I still cant believe its your tribute i am writing.I dont know how you did it, but u made everyone around you happy, you were a good listener and adviser.You were a brother to many, pure and genuine heart, always ready to help. The world has definitely lost a great soul and heaven has gained another angel. We love you but God loves you more.Rest in His bossom till we meet again Big Brother.

Lawrence, its still a shocker!! just like that! wow! am speechless. Rest in peace, God rest your soul brother, you had a good heart. I pray God grants Jane and the kids the fortitude to bear this huge loss. wow

Dear Lawrence, you were a real one!. This was too untimely but God knows best. Rest in the blossom of the lord. Adieu

Dear Lawrence.....it is well! Rest in Heaven, my brother. I remember how you were always in the Private Banking lounge back in DB looking for one thing or the other, not knowing you were silently toasting Jane who later became your wife. I pray the Good Lord grants her and your entire family the strength to get through this. Such a painful exit. Rest in the bosom.of the Lord, my brother.
