I truly miss you. Frankie's birthday is in two weeks and it's so sad because you aren't going to be here to celebrate with us. Remember last year you lost your car keys and Frankie had to climb in your car and unlock the door so you could check in there....
You are going to be missed forever. You are going to be loved forever. I wish I could talk to you right now. I have so much to tell you!
Sending you lots of love. Give Alex a hug.

Dear BFF Jr., I truly miss you and think of you often. I use the little file cabinet we put together that Monday morning. I see the notes you wrote to help train me on the job. Lots of memories of other things like the Christmas gifts you so thoughtfully chose for me. I'll never forget you, your thoughtfulness and your beautiful smile. Until we meet again, Peace.

My love, you were my anchor in life and now I am lost. I have no ambitions anymore or desires. I am just here. And you are in heaven with Jesus. The only positive out of you leaving me is my desire to know God again. I wanted to feed off your love for life and family for the rest of MY life. And now that is gone and I am lost. It has been three months since you joined the lord in a world with no pain, sense of time, and love wrapped around you, like a harm blanket, and my pain and your mother's feels like it is never going to fade. I miss you my love and your strength.

Dear Laura,
I am so sad that you left this world so early. You've left a big hole in the hearts of many. I feel so terrible for your mom and dad and brother. I only hope that soon the memories they have of you will give them peace and joy again. We will never forget you.

My dearest cousin... I always had the best of times with you from staying up all night, roller skating and checking out all the boys (Troy), going dancing, too sitting on your trampoline just talking about life. You are a wonderful soul and you will be missed always. Look out over us all and keep us on the right path so when our time comes we can see you again. Thank you for the great memories until we meet again. Love Sissy

My Sweet, beautiful friend, I will miss your smile for a lfetime. We made some amazing memories together and I will cherish them forever. You were the first real friend I made after moving to Texas 12 years ago, and I have loved you as a sister since the first night we met. You are one of the greatest friends I have, and that will last for an eternity. I can't wait till I see you again one day.
xoxo

Laura,

It's still hard to believe that you are gone. Everytime I hear a Clay Walker song I think of you. You were such a kind sweet loving friend. You always checked in to see how we were doing, you didn't just ask about me and Steven but you always remembered the kids. You never failed to make us laugh. I sure am going to miss oue talks about Sunny:) I really am. I love and miss you. Give Alex a hug from us.

Laura, baby girl, I miss you so much. You were such a wonderful, thoughtful and amazing daughter. Your beautiful smile always brought happiness into the room. I could never express how much I loved you and I miss you with all my heart. Rest in Peace with Rick by your side.......I love you. Mom

Mr. and Mrs. Staudt, I was so sorry to hear about Laura. I know words are so inadequate at a time like this, but May God hold you in his arms and heal the sorrow you feel.
I remember many times Rick talking about and 'beaming' about his young sister.
You're in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Staudt Family,
Laura was a dear friend and a blessing to know. As a neighbor I enjoyed her visits when she would walk her black lab. She would tie him up to a tree out front and come inside and play with my grandson who was just a baby. She and my son Rhett Farrell have been friends since high school. While he was in the Marines, Laura would inquire about him often; as it was her nature to worry about everyone. She helped me with a shoe sale a couple of years ago which I could not have pulled off without her. She was a very reliable, loving, beautiful, and compassionate young woman and will be missed very much. She loved her family and spoke proudly of all of you. She was always sweet and had a beautiful smile, I will never forget.
May God Bless You all and comfort you with all of Laura's beautiful memories. Your family and Laura will forever be in our prayers.
John, Connie, & Rhett Farrell
