1 thought on “Wallace Lawhorn”

  1. Dear Lawhorn family, you have my deepest sympathy. The loss of a loved one can bring great sorrow and pain but you can have comfort. You can get this from Gods word the Bible. Acts 24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection” so you will see your loved one again. Isn’t that comforting to know?
