  1. Good memories are in my mind of my beloved cousin. Fun and lots of laughs as we grew up and than having our little girls play together and shareing our time of marriage and the newness of it all. You will be missed cousin, but a time will come when there will be no more separation and we will be with our Lord and Savior forever. Much love and prayers to the family, cousin Fay

  2. Laura is the most loving and caring person I have ever known. Laura always treated my Lex and I as if we were family. Laura would have given the shirt off her back to anyone in need. Cameron loves his nana and will always remember you because between his father and I, we will always speak of your beautiful soul. I will help them in their days of grief but we all know you will always be near. Rest in heaven Laura, where there is no pain. When all look up we will know your watching us all.

  3. Laurie and I and our 5 children had some wonderful times together. So sorry that I didn’t keep in touch with her.

  4. My dearest sister my best friend you are in my heart and we will be together again !!!! Miss you and Love you dearly !!!!!
