Mike & I are truly sorry for your loss. We are praying that you and your family can get through this tough time and begin the healing process.
I remember cheering you guys on from the bench of the Soccerdome with Lara and the kids. That seems so long ago but the memories are still fresh as ever. She was a great person and we are very fortunate to have known her.
She will be missed by many.
