We were very sad to learn of Laura’s passing. She was a wonderful woman with a kind and gentle soul. We will miss Laura a lot! May she Rest In Peace with the Lord.
Laura was a great coworker and friend. She spoke highly of everyone and talked about her family and friends, how close they were to her heart. We went for coffee every morning and shared great laughs, joys and pain. We will miss her dearly. I will miss my friend Laura. Rest in Peace. God Bless.
