Mrs Laura, or faithfully know to me as Lala, was the strongest woman I have ever met in my entire life. She always opened her doors to us teenagers and with open arms while doing so. She will be greatly missed, but she has four wonderful children who she will continue to live through.



You are in my prayers Kevin, Heather, Holly and Chase.

Harwood family,

I am so deeply saddened for your loss and know how difficult this is. Your family has been in my prayers and will remain in them. Although I know it has been a struggle, I believe your Mother provided great inspiration for my Mother. Know that there are more people than you could imagine thinking about you all.

May Peace be with you,

Meg Cook

Harwood family.

Our hearts are saddened.

We all know how hard Laura fought.

I will always remember her as a beautiful lady who loved life and always had a smile on her face. She truly loved her children and family, but loved God even more. You can take comfort that she is free of pain.

Kevin, Heather,Holly,& Chase; Continue to make her proud and live your life to honor God. You are her legacy!

I know you will miss her greatly. She was a very special person.

With deepest Sympathy,

I am very sorry to hear of Laura's passing. I have had the privilege to work with her son, Kevin, for the past 2 summers. She has raised a very fine young man. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
