I worked with Laura a few years back, I was referred to her thru Dept. Of Family Services, we spent time just talking, sharing a coke together, she would always ask about my family and how they were doing, she gave me a set of Christmas lights that played music and these red bells would go off and on with the music, I put these lights on my porch every Christmas and always think of her, we would exchange Christmas cards, she was a dear sweet caring friend and I am sorry for her passing, thank you Laura for the memories.

Laura volunteered in my classroom at Bryant School. She was a kind, sweet person and helped many students become better readers. We will miss Miss Laura.
