The family of Dolores Irene “Toots” Lawman has received the following condolences.
Dear Lawman Family,
As you might recall, my family lived two doors from you on 20th Ave in Rolling Greens until I was in 1st grade. Your mom and dad have a special place in my memory from those years and beyond.
I was sorry to learn of your mom’s death. Her obituary is beautiful. I remember Toots as a very friendly and vivacious woman. She was always very welcoming and hospitable.
As you grieve her death, I hope and trust that your many great memories of her help comfort you.
Best wishes to you all,
Jeff Korsmo
I am sorry to hear of Toots passing. I worked with Larry at IBM from 1967-68. He worked in the Electronics Lab and I did secretarial support for the department. Larry often mentioned Toots and said how proud he was of her and how much fun they had. She will be missed.
