So sorry to learn today that Lawrence Hamilton, who performed at Crossroads Celebrity Concert/Crossroads Children's Chorus Festival passed away last night. My feelings and emotions are close to the surface as I think about all that Lawrence has done for so many people. What a blessing it was to watch him interact with the children of Crossroads Children's Chorus and tell them that they could be anything they wanted to be! The twinkle in his eye as he leaned down to speak to each one, and show that them were the most important thing to him at that moment, and yet his command of the stage and the positive presence you felt when he walked in a room was a privilege to watch and be around. I have attached a video of Lawrence performing ''Wheels of a Dream'' from one of his many leading roles he played on Broadway. Lawrence, I love you and you will be missed. Thank-you for the wonderful service you provided to so many of us.
