Laura, u gave me my best friend, who has touched many lives in so many big ways...mine included! But you know that, I'm sure. The strong, smart, caring, strong-willed woman you have always been has been passed onto her (Wendy). To you, I am thankful for blessing all of us with her, by giving her so much of yourself! You WILL BE missed by so many...but we WILL meet again!

“For there is no friend like a sister, in calm or stormy weather, to cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.�
