Heaven must be filled with laughter now that Arlene has joined Bob and my parents. My childhood is filled with memories of your amazing family. It broke our hearts when you moved all the way to North Syracuse, but we soon found our relationships would be life long. I have some sweet pics of them visiting the island in later years. What remarkable role models we were given in our parents. I miss them every day and can only pray I can enjoy life as fully as they did. It was an honor and a privilege to have known the Lawless family. I wish you all well.

Our heartfelt condolences to the OBrien and Lawless families. We are sadden to hear of your loss. May you find solace in the love and memories shared together and may God comfort you with the words at Revelation 21:4,5. Happily we can look forward to the day God promises to reunite us with loved ones by the resurrection John 5:28,29. May these scriptures bring you some comfort in the days ahead.

Mike, Mary, Lauren,

For as long as I can remember our parents were best friends. They went on bowling trips together, we had dinners together, we played together as kids and we even lived into the same neighborhood. I remember how all the counters in your house and even the toilet were built tall for them. Lauren, I remember how you and my dad would send the same birthday card back and forth to each other for years. He loved that. Your mom always made the best chocolate chip cookies and no one has been able to duplicate her recipe. I have a tape of my dad singing that your parents made and I can hear them laughing in the background and egging him on to sing more. Your mom was a wonderful person, but you don't need me to tell you that. They are all together now having a great time. I miss them all so very much.

Mike, Mary and Lauren,

Your mom Arlene - what wonderful and joyful times Nick & I had with her and your Dad. All the bowling weekends and the sharing of silly honest opinions, the comfort given to each other during sad times over the years she was always there for me. Now that you have gone on please say hi to Bob and my Nick and give them my love too.
Love

Mike & Family,
You may not remember me, but you and I were friends 60 years ago when we lived behind Lundy's. You on Stanley Drive & us on the corner of Clearview Dr & Stanley. Anyway, I was sorry to read about your Mom and am also sorry that I couldn't make the calling hours, but will try to be at your her Mass tomorrow morning. The thoughts and prayers of my family and I are with her and all of you. God Bless all of you.

Mike, Mary and Lauren,

Although this is a sad time for you, I just wanted to say what happy thoughts I had tonight at the funeral home as I played back what a wonderful life-long friendship our parents had. They taught us what true friendship was all about. As for your mom, I can't ever remember seeing her without that beautiful, loving and friendly smile she always had. She certainly left her mark on me and my 11 siblings!!

My deepest sympathies go out to Mary, Mike and Lauren. I was so lucky to have known your Mom and Dad through my work. She was an incredibly sweet woman who always had a "joke" for me! I am so glad I had the opportunity to recently visit her---I will miss her dearly!!

I was lucky enough to have several aunts and uncles growing up with my mother's family of 11 children, but Aunt Arlene, stood out among them all. I was always welcome and never felt as though I was being judged or sized up over the years. I felt the same way when I would run into her in a store or about town. Always a bright smile and a welcoming handshake or hug.
Thank you Aunt Arlene for helping shape me into the man I am by your example.

Love, Jim Moran

I will always remember the good times I had with your family. When ever I was at my brothers your mom and day always teased me. When we moved to Florida Tom & I spent many of good times with them. We miss both of your parents very much. They were special and loved a lot. My deepest sympathy to You, Mike and Lauren.
