In loving memory. My mom Gloria used to work for both Mr. & Mrs. Laser for many many years. I remember as child visiting and her contagious humor and laughter filled my day with such joy, I can remember her taking me for lunch at the Mission Hills Club, swimming and watching Oprah Winfrey.

Aunt Saretta, as my sister Susan and I called her all our lifes, was my father Harry Wolff's first cousin. Along with my mother, Bess, we all spent a lot of wonderful time w/ Saretta and Harold both in Chicago and Palm Springs. As a child, I thought she was beautiful, had a wonderful laugh, and an outrageous sense of humor. All three impressions remained true all my life. My father especially adored her. My sympathies to her children and their families. She will be missed.

Saretta was my cousin and a cousin to my mother. She was absolutely the best person I've ever met in my life. Always treated everyone the same way she would have wanted to be treated. A very loving, generous lady-and I use that term with the most respect. A beautiful sense of humor, a wonderful smile and an open heart that included everyone she knew. May G-d give her all His peace and love she gave everyone else.

What a beautiful person she was. I met Saretta when I moved here in 1989 and was welcomed warmly by her and made to feel part of the Mission Hills community immediately. Witty....Classy....a true Grand Dame. She will be sorely missed.

Saretta Baretta Laser was the most beloved member of Mission Hills Country Club when I worked there in the 80's. She was fabulous, always smiling and what a sense of humor. I'll never forget her and neither will many others. May she rest in peace and what a wonderful life she lived.

I met Saretta about 4 or 5 years ago. She attended one of my Superbowl parties. Her zest for life, her laughter, her smile will always be remembered. I've been sending her jokes to keep her laughing. I will miss her.

Saretta was a great person, larger than life and my family and I always enjoyed her company when we were together. Her husband Harold was also a great person, they were definitley a couple truly made for each other. Will miss Saretta alot but we know she will be watching over all her firends and family she so dearly loved.

She was my life long friend.

Her Nephew.
