Memorial Fund for Terrence Lawrence

Friends and the family of Terrence, Letty thanks you, for the wonderful prayers for the life of her beloved husband. We come together in grief acknowledging our human loss. This is a tender time, not altogether tragic, but a time when all of us, in one way or another, are confronted with feelings of loss and uncertainty. There will be disbelief and sadness in the hearts of many of us. Perhaps it is hard to admit, even to ourselves, how profoundly vulnerable death can make us feel. We celebrate Terrence’s life even as we tremble before this vulnerability. For we know that whether we die quickly or slowly, we must all face the prospect of having to give up everything we think we are before we can return to God. Our celebration of our love for Terrence cannot blunt these feelings. It is not about feeling better, but about finding strength and support in the sharing of this love, about experiencing fully all our joy and sorrow, and by discovering that love can reveal itself even more deeply in times of loss. And in the depth of this grief is revealed a secret. Life, experienced fully with all its joys and sorrows, then gives its secret to itself.


This memorial fund is in the honor of Terrence. Funds will be contributed to his wife Letty.
