Dear Mary B & Family,

We've had a lot of grieving this year, but we are a strong family, and we are so lucky to have had these wonderful souls in our lives. I'm sure they're all enjoying each other in heaven, having a typical Lawler time. I'm grateful for the time that we had them, but a loss is a loss, and I'm very sorry about yours.  I'm sorry I was not able to make the funeral. You have all my love and prayers

Lawler Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

may time heal the loss you are feeling now and the many memories live on in your hearts

always. John, Melanie, Eddie, Jay and Tony Kasner  

Dear Mrs. Lawler, Annie, and family.

Please accept my condolences with the passing of Tom (husband, father, grandfather) to eternity.

How fortunate that he had so many years--and so many who loved him and whom he loved.

My sister (Mary Gorman Cahill) always spoke well of your family.  It seems like many years now that we were all undergraduates togeher, Annie.  I serve in Japan now--going on six years. I am a monk of Saint John's and its daughter house in Japan, but I am chaplain at a Trappistine Monastery.

May your family rejoice in good memories of Tom. May he rest in peace.

(Fr.) Tony Gorman

To the Lawler Family,

My deepest condolences to each of you~

Tom was such a light and a gift to all around him. I enjoyed all of his stories, especially the ones with him and his trusty pony! I know how much he loved life, his family & friends and being an independant fellow! I was amazed to witness the love and support his family provided him any opportunity they could, which was truely amazing! I enjoyed his friendship. I am so happy I got the chance to know Tom Lawler.

God Bless,

Jen McLaughlin

So sorry to hear about Tom.  I so enjoyed visiting with him back in my early days at S&S when I'd

see him in the warehouse.  I used to just laugh when he'd yell at Tom and Jim for one thing or another.

I know that he will be greatly missed and wanted to let you know that I was thinking of the family.

God Bless!!!

Annie,

I'm so sorry about your Dad.  I wish I'd had a chance to meet him but he sounds like a wonderful person.

Tom............Thanks for the memories.  Through the years as a meatcutter (Just-rite foods and Hyvee) . it was great to see and talk with you each time you shopped.  You'll be missed............THANKS again friend

To the family of Tomas J. Lawler

PLease accept my sincerest condolences in the death of my cousin Tom Lawler. It has been many years since I've visited with Tom. I remember all the times that I and my mother {Betty Conrad Jenkins] and your Aunt Liz[Elizabeth Baier Conrad] would visit the farm and Tom would be there too. When I was up that way in 2003, I believe, he was at Betty's house for a visit.

I have notified members of my family to let them know of Tom's passing.

With Love & prayers,

Your cousin [Miss] Victress Jenkins

Hell-o Mary:  I just wanted to express my sympathy to you in the loss of Tom.  I remember meeting him several times in the course of my years working with you at Peoples Coop.  I know that with time, you will heal and your life will go on.  I speak from experience, having lost my fiance just over two years ago, after having known him for ten years.  Most of my family is still is around Rochester and I still come "home" semi regularly and have cause to go by the Coop now and then.  I miss the place and always will, as I felt my working years there caused me to grow into the person I've become and I'm grateful for the time I had there working with wonderful people like you!  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.  Irene Jacob

Tom was a warm, friendly and gentle man. He always took time to say hello to me and took an interest in what I was doing and had to say. He reminded me of Maynard in so many ways. Just think those two are in Heaven having a beer and talking about all the good times they had together with their wives and families. My heart and prayers go out to each one of you at this time. May God be with you and your families.

Sincerely,

Marty & Nan Johnson

DEAR MARY & FAMILY,

SO SORRY TO READ OF TOM'S PASSING. I ENJOYED EACH AND EVERY TIME WE WOULD SEE EACH OTHER WHETHER AT THE PHARMACY, AT CHURCH OR AT A BALLGAME. HE WAS TRULY A JOY FOR ME TO BE AROUND.

YOU ARE ALL IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS.

MAY YOU REST IN PEACE TOM MY GOOD FRIEND.

SINCERELY, GARY.

My condolences to the whole Lawler Family.  Growing up next to Uncle Tom and Mary as a child was a great moment in my life.  The world has lost a kind, loving, and special person.  I have fond memories of several neighborhood kids and I performing air band cover songs in Tom's driveway and sneaking over to the house to get treats from Uncle Tom and Mary.  I always wanted to hang out at their house, now that I look back, I might have been that annoying little kid like Denace the Menace and Uncle Tom was Mr. Wilson.  I also remember Tom letting me ride along several times to go to his business, for what reason I needed to go I still don't know, but I'm sure I annoyed Tom long enough he gave in.  There are people who impact your life to be a better person and Tom Lawler was that person, so I am honored and blessed to have Tom in my life for that small time in my life.  Thank you to the Lawler family for sharing to the world a great human being, he will be missed.

Jeremy "JJ" Austin

I'm sorry to read about Tom's passing.  My sympathies to the Lawler family.

Kay, Steve, and Family,

We are sorry to hear of your father's passing.  You are in our thoughts and prayers. 

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

To Tom's family;

I never met a man so kind and smiley in all my years when Tom made deliveries to K mart north. He always

had a kind word for Orvil and me, and truly was a genuine, honest person. Later in years I would run into

Tom down town at Goodyear where he would be shooting the bull with the hands down there. He knew

everyone, and everyone knew him. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.  

Dear Mary B & Family:

I am very sorry for your loss. I remember Tom as having a great smile and easy laugh. I hope that it is a comfort to know that he is surrounded in heaven by many loving family members.

I am in Florida at this time, so am sorry that I won't be able to attend the visitation and funeral.

Know that my thoughts and prayers are with Tom and all of you.

Love, Bill

Kay, Steve and all the Lawler family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this most difficult time. Please know our prayers are that you will feel God's strength and grace through this grief journey.

With deepest sympathy,

Our sympathy to you Mary and family.  I will always remember the twinkle in Tom's eye.  They were neighbors at one time and just great friends.  I am sure you will miss him dearly.

God Bless,

Mary Kay-- I am so sorry about the loss of your dad.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong.

Yesterday when I learned that Tom had passed away, I was reminded of the Father-Daughter dances at Saint Ben's when Ann and Mary were house mates.

I am sorry for your loss.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
