Laura may you rest in peace. You were the best mom to your children. I admired you and Gene for your dedication to your youngest children Thomas, Mariah, Andrew, Jeremiah, and Joshua. You were an inspiration to the staff at Adams Elementary and Helen Hunt Elementary. My prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Angels like you are taken early because you are needed in heaven.

My dear neighbor Laura, I just can't believe you are gone...you have been such a wonderful friend and neighbor and I am going to truly miss you. Just last week you were looking after me and checking on me and now you are with my Aunt Mary along with so many other beautiful Angels... My heart is so heavy but I know you are just another wonderful and loving Angel that God has chosen to come to that beautiful place called Heaven that will be watching over Gene, the kids, myself and everyone who knows you, who's heart you've touched one way or another. I love you my dear friend and I will truly miss you.
Rest In Paradise my dear Friend.
My sincere condolences go out to the family and you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mary
