Steve, We just found out today about Laura and also Meredith and we are having such a hard time believing it yet. We are so very sorry for both of your losses and we want you to know that our prayers and condolences are with you. Meredith was always our adorable little munchkin and we loved her so much. She was always such a close friend to Ryan and we enjoyed her immensly and she brought much joy into our lives! We will always think of her with so much love and affection. It is so sad that folks lose touch with people they bond to, but she will always be in our hearts.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of both Meredith and Mrs. Murray. Your hearts must be hurting so very much right now, but I also know you have such strong faith and are looking forward to reuniting with them in Heaven one day. They were both such lovely ladies. I went to high school with Meredith, and knew Mrs. Murray from Rudy Elem. Both ladies were full of such generosity and kindness. My prayers are with you during this very difficult time. May God wrap His arms around you and comfort you. Again, I am so sorry for you lose. They will both be missed dearly.
