It is with great sadness that I send this obit. Lawrence J. Bilyeu, 37, of Walnut Shade, MO. died on Oct 19, 2000. He died from injuries received from automobile accident. Lawrence was a likable guy.

He was a lifetime resident of Walnut Shade, MO. I am not sure of Charlie's relationship to my family but I shall pin point it down. These 2 young men were both raised in Walnut Shade and were liked by all. They would give you the shirt off their back. Though they were not rich by wealth, they were rich in friends and family and they will be sadly missed. Pama
