Every thought I have of Laura always includes her laughter. How she could make you laugh no matter what was going on. She was a special person and great cousin. She gave me so much advice as a young teenager and I could always count on her if I needed anything. She will leave a big hole in this world that will never be filled. She will be missed so much by so many. Carol Lynne Morgan

Laura and I grew closer as time went by, and I consider myself so blessed to have had her in my life. There will always be a space left empty without her here. I wish I could have told you one more time my friend, I love you.

Know that Laura’s memory will live on in my heart as the precious and caring person that she was. I’ll remember her as that person always willing to give a helping hand in any regard. Although we lost sight of each other at times, she truly meant the world to me. She had this kind of magnetism about her that drew you to her. You just wanted to be around her if she was about. She was so cool!!!! I love her and always will. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you Lou Ellen, Jan, Jimmie, Donna and all of her family. Gods blessings to you all! Love to all of you, Vicki and Randall Rice
