Dear Family of Laura:
Laura was a wonderful, Christian lady loved by all who knew her. She helped everyone she could in any way she could. I am really going to miss visiting with her while we made lap quilts for the veterans. A half-hour intended visit always stretched into three or four hours but we never noticed the time. God knew that Laura was tired and wore out from the pain so He took her home. I wish she could have stayed with us a while longer but God knows best. Rest in Peace Laura. I love you and will miss you greatly.
Laura my dear friend I will miss you forever, you were the kindest, sweetest, generous and giving woman for sure. You will always be in my heart. I love you so much. I was proud to be your friend and part of your family. To my Wise family, my thoughts and prayers go out to you all. God Speed Laura ,no more pain and suffering.
