Mum and I visit South Africa in 2007 and 2012 to learn about the life and times of my great grandfather, Vincent Lawrence (1872-1965). Lawrence worked with Gandhi when the Mahatma was in South Africa, got involved in the struggle against apartheid, and helped found St. Anthony's Church in Durban.
My sisters and I have booked the University Club at the University of Waterloo for Saturday July 12th, 2025, for Mum's Celebration of Life. We will have food, musical performances, and tributes to our mother. We invite family from far and near to come join us in person, or online via the planned livestream. The next day, Sunday July 13th, there will be a Catholic Mass at St. Michael's Church, followed by the interment of the ashes at Parkview Cemetery. My sisters and our families will be in Waterloo from July 11-15. Stay tuned for more details. If you do plan to join us, please send me an email at: kenrajleslie@gmail.com.
