    Dear family of Lawrence,
    I was saddened this morning when Willy and I went to Lawrence’s room and found he was no longer there. In the years I have been visiting the manor with my therapy dogs, Phoebe and Willy, no person has ever been as kind, excited, happy and loving to my dogs as Lawrence. Your video tribute is lovely and a joy to see, to remember this kind, energetic man whose love for his family and his dogs is made so clear. He brightened our lives with each visit.
    My sincere sympathy on your loss.
