Foster refers to her daughter as heaven-sent. Lawrence was a high school senior planning to apply to Michigan State University. Foster said her daughter was consistently on the honor roll, a dancer, a nacho lover and would take every chance she got to help her mom study for her nursing program. “She would put herself and her problems aside and love you,” Foster said. “I think, as a mom, I’m going to miss that the most, because you took away something that was very dear to me.” It was only a week ago that Foster landed on her daughter and took her phone. Foster said her daughter was so upset that around 10:30 p.m. the teenager ran away. Her mother searched for hours and filed a police report early Sunday morning. one D “I had to keep calling and talking to the detectives, but I didn’t find out my baby was at the morgue until Thursday, so he had been gone since Sunday,” Foster said. “Her birthday is on November 7 and I have to celebrate it alone. How should I do this? I have not slept. I do not eat. I feel like if my baby can’t eat, I don’t eat.” Now Foster hopes the pain their family is enduring will reach other young people. “I pray that my daughter’s death will be a wake-up call for everyone,” he said. “It’s not okay to (go crazy) with your parents and run away from home. You don’t know if you’ll come back. I thought I knew my daughter would come back. I just knew it was.” A GoFundMe account has been set up to help the family with Lawrence’s funeral expenses — click here to visit the page. one D Copyright 2022 by WDIV ClickOnDetroit – All Rights Reserved.
