It's hard to choose a favorite memory, but the one that keeps coming back is Laz's relationship years ago with our very old and quiet and not-exactly-cute dog Bessie. Most people found her easy to ignore or overlook, but even when Laz was busy painting, every time they were near each other he would stop and bend down and gave her his big warm smile and call out to her "Bessie-moo!" (Greek for "Bessie mine!" or "My Bessie!")and make her and our day.
We have wonderful memories of Laz sharing life lessons with my children while painting - with his wonderful sense of humor and nothing-is-off-limits conversations. My mother adored both Alice and Laz. Our prayers are with all of you.
