THE WALL OF FACES

Lawrence is buried at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, CA.

It is said a man hasn't died as long as he is remembered. This prayer is a way for families, friends and fellow veterans to remember our fallen brothers and sisters. Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Lawrence Jeffrey Churchill, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you LCPL Churchill, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND

Your brothers of Second Battalion, First Marines honor your service and
your supreme sacrifice. You are one of our Heroes. Your comrades of 2/1
hold you in their hearts and minds forever. Take your warrior's rest for a
duty well done. Semper Fi, Marine!

Larry:

I saw your name on the wall Larry and I was moved to tears for the fact that your young life was lost to your brothers Chuck and Bill and your mom. How they must have ached to have lost you. I saw Bill a few years back... I wonder how losing you must have affected his life... he seemed sad. Bill was my good friend in High School. I miss Bill too...
