Laura is/was there for world's spiritual direction! Her caring for all is such a great and significant part of her makeup. Few of us are blest with the subtle gift radiating humility everywhere. A true gift to all of us, she really touched me with that gift. Whatever the day's challenge her toolbox had the solution. I am so grateful for the gift to know her. I will miss her.

Dearest MaDonna and family members:
My deepest sympathy on the passing of your Mother /Gram/Great Gram, Laura.
MaDonna, as you know, I had her in my prayers for the ill. Now, she is resting in God's arms, reunited with loved ones, and free of all earthly discomforts. A new Angel in heaven, named Laura, will be looking down upon each of you. Prayers to all for your strength during this sad time.
Blessings.......... Kathie Barajas - Dominican University

Dear Kristine and family,
Although I never had the opportunity to meet your mother, I felt I knew her from the wonderful stories you shared about her. How lucky you were to have had her for your mom! May God bless you and keep you and may the love of family and friends help to ease your sorrow. You were truly a wonderfully, devoted daughter!
With sympathy and love,
Linda Becker

I wasn't meant to meet Laura but when I did I was so lucky to be a part of her life. She taught me more than I could have ever imagined. Because of her I am a better person. She also raised an amazing family and had so many friends. You just wanted to be around her. Thank you Laura.

Kristine, MaDonna and family,
Your mom was a kind, gentle, sweet lady. She would always make my day when I would see her. She was one if my favorite people to take care of. I will miss our little talks we used to have. I will never forget her, she was a one of a kind. Please take comfort knowing she is no longer in pain. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

There won't be a day that goes by that I don't think about your kind sweet soul. Heaven sure did gain an angel. Hope those martinis are just the way you like them! It's never good bye so I'll see you later!

So sorry to hear of Laura's passing. I so enjoyed visiting with her and tapping her expertise on Legion Auxiliary information. She had such a superior memory and I know she loved being an Auxiliary member. Unfortunately I will be out of state at the time of her service. Please know that I will be thinking of her and her family. What a grand lady she was!
