Dave, It's been many years since our one great adventure with you and Lauralee. We knew then what a wonderful wife and soul-mate she was for you. May the grace of God, and the soulful memory of your life and times with her, bring you some measure of peace to sustain you in this time of great pain, loss, and grief.

Lauralee was such a beautiful woman. I am blessed to have many happy memories of her when I was growing up...she took me with her so that I could volunteer at March of Dimes and I remember spending time at her home with Dave. I am lucky to have had her in my family. What a caring spirit and a wonderful laugh. I am sure she was welcomed on the other side with open arms.

Dear Dave,
You and Lauralee were blessed with so many years of marriage together, and were such a blessing to each other. When you hear a soft whisper or waves gently lapping a shoreline, see a lovely sunset or smell a beautiful rose, I know you will be thinking of her in kind.
We pray that our Lord Jesus comforts you in this time of loss, and we lift and you and your pain of her passing up to his tender care.
