Dear
Friends of John Laurence,
John Laurence's Grand Nephew Andy Rauch in San Diego asked
us to pass along the sad message that John passed away in
San Diego, California on Friday, January 17, 2003 at 9:45
pm. John was admitted into the hospital 2 days prior. He had
just turned 95 years old on January 6, 2003.
We are all saddened by the loss of our beloved friend and
teacher "JL". For him, as he told us many times, it is a
time of joyous graduation. May we all feel the blessings
that Reverend John Laurence has showered upon us every day
of his life. We know he will continue to be an inspiration
to all who think him near, as his love and joy live on and
on, in continuous and dedicated service to God.
As messages of sympathy are pouring in with Andy and us in
response our sad news of John's passing, we have created a
message board where you are encouraged to post your
condolences, memories, reflections, photos and stories of
John, so not just we but everybody on this list can see and
read them.
That's where everybody can share their experiences with John
and miraculous stories about the many ways in which John has
touched all of our lives! It is also the place that John's
Grand Nephew Andy and other close San Diego friends chose to
write open letters to all of JL's friends about their last
touching hours with John.
All you need to do is log into our "JL Memorial Message
Board", which we have founded in Memory of John Laurence at
