"Lawrence was the heart and soul of T-MODE," said Sharvonique, "and he worked tirelessly for the convention to succeed and to grow into something truly unique and special."
At this time, the future of T-MODE is uncertain. The convention is currently looking for thoughts and support from anime and gaming fans in hope of keeping Lawrence's vision alive.
