    He will be missed.

    Thanks for posting this Roy. I'm pretty much at a loss for words.

    This world is a better place because of BESTLEVER

    To my Dear Friend Jim Lawrence AKA BestLever,

    My friend, I replied to your email last night at 10:45 PM and as I now sit here, I know that your reply won't be forthcoming. You are one of a kind to my family and as I look as the posts that you replied to in this ASK ANNA MEMORIAL FORUM last night, I know that you still had my sweet ANNABELLE in your thoughts. You always were the "apple" of ANNA'S eye and she would often talk about how much that she admired you for your ruggedness and determination. Your ruggedness and sense of adventure always made ANNA feel a closeness to you. She loved hearing of your fishing exploits and your travels up on your mountain as well. That was always exciting to her and she LOVED every minute conversing with you all of these years. You made her life worth living and she looked forward to your emails back and forth.

    As I stated, You are one of a kind and now I know that Heaven will be rejoicing in having You, Anna, and Calamity Jane all celebrating with each other while waiting for the rest of us to join you.

    Mr. Jim Lawrence, GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND AND I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH. My Love and my Prayers go to your family at this time. You will remain in our hearts forever as well.

    Good Bye, My Good Friend.

    Those were some real good words. Then again that is something we have come to expect from you. We will all sure miss him. If I ever get to the great state of Georgia we gotta meet.

    Jim was one heck of a man, a great friend, and I miss him.
