Blessings to your family in this time of sorrow. Laura and Tom, you were the joy of her life. Her eyes would shine whenever she spoke of her children.

My parents enjoyed many wonderful times with your mom and dad. She showed such care and compassion when the health of my parents was failing. She was a true friend and I will always remember her kindness.

Sincerely,
