A week ago today, I held you in my arms and begged you to stay. The selfish parts of me wanted you, needed you to stay here with me and be my daddy.. When the machines were turned off, I kept assuming you start breathing on your own....that you'd choose to stay....I held out hope for what seemed eternity. ....but I know you were already surrounded by the love and light from above and I understand your choice. Please help me fill this broken hole in my soul....please fill me with peace and love and acceptance. I miss you every minute....I love you forever.

I will always remember how kind Mr. Lawson was to me. Dawn and I were friends in H.S. and for spring break the year they moved to PA, I went to visit them. I remember all the laughter and fun we had so well! The tour of the town, the meals, Mrs. Lawson almost getting in trouble picking me up at the airport because she had a knife in her purse (she forgot she had it in there from opening a box for Ronnie's birthday) but mostly the friendship and laughter. I know you will all miss him so much. I pray that the happy memories can help you through this sorrowful time.

I feel so blessed to have been able to have the 43 years with my daddy that I did. He was an amazing man, an amazing role model and the best father a girl could ask for. He was unconditionally loving caring and supportive. He was silly and always have the ability to make me smile and make me laugh. I will miss him every day with every breath that I take and I look forward to seeing him someday when I walk through those Pearly Gates. I love you Daddy I love you I love you I love you.

How fortunate I was to have this man as my uncle. Through ones life you should consider yourself blessed if you meet people who inspire you, teach you and love you.... unconditionally, humbly and with gentle wisdom and Uncle Ron you were so lovingly successful at doing just that. I will miss hearing your jokes and your laugh. You certainly have left a mark on my heart. Thanks for the many memories.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Lawson, but know his daughter, Jancie through my niece, Myrna Lambert. Jancie would not be the loving, kind and caring person she is today without role models like her dad and mom.  Mr. Lawson was truly loved by his family. Through Facebook I have witnessed it through the pictures all of you have posted of your family times together. My sincere condolences to Mrs. Jan Lawson, Ron, Dawn and Jancie and their families. May God bless all of you.
