Laura had a passion for the things of God and lovingly
shared her devotion to His Word and truths with everyone. She loved going
to church, loved the fellowship with the people of God and was a true example
of the love of Jesus Christ towards others.The next great love of her life was
her children and grandchildren. They were the light of her life and all
of them gave her such joy. She loved to share stories and pictures of
them, but she was especially the happiest at the many family gatherings for
birthdays and holidays and get togethers where she would take in all of their
love and laughter. From the oldest to the youngest, each and every one of
these children were held in her heart in their own special way from the moment
they were born.Laura was known for her quick wit, her sense of humor and her
loving kindness. Anyone who was her friend was quick to say she was their
best friend because she was compassionate, understanding, non-judgmental and
was the kind of person who made you want to be like her.
