I am Bethany's sister, Carissa, and aunt to Lawrence. Lawrence was shot and killed yesterday in Parma, Ohio. Lawrence was a beautiful young man, full of love, clever jokes, and so much potential. He loved sports, video games, spending time with his friends and family, and while he could be quiet, he loved those around him passionately - most of all his mom. We are still in shock at this terrible and senseless tragedy.

This fundraiser is to help cover the upcoming expenses and to give Lawrence the memorial he deserves as we say our last goodbyes. Please help if you are able and share your most loved memories of him with us as we mourn his loss.
