My heart is so sad to hear of Laura's passing. She was one of my dearest friends and confidants in our highschool years. We highlighted my hair together back in her bathroom in our senior year. It could have looked much worse than it did. We spent many nights piled in her bed, solving the perils & problems revolving around our world at R.L. Paschal.
I have only sweet memories of Laura. She was happy, a fun loving spirit, a treasure of a friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with all the family.

I will always remember laura as the loving,warm,funny kind of person. She the kind of person that would help you out in anyway she could. I will miss our little talks on the phone when jenn wasn't home . She love her two daughters and wants the best for them. I remember when me and jenn and laura where talking about the montel show and she say silvia brown was on it talking about loved ones who passed over giving them signs. She told us if she ever dies that she would give her daughters and husband a sign that she all right. I told her if she gave me a sign to not scare me and she laugh. we will always miss her but one day we will meet her again. I will be praying for the strickland family. Love amanda g
