Dear Ernie, Michael and Julianne, Words cannot express what we want to say to all of you. Laura was a special person who I found strength in when Anthony left us and when I lost Chris. We had great fun on our trips and Christmas parties at our house. I have to say thank you to Michael and Julianne for a wonderful Mass, but Ernie I want to say a special thank you to you for such a beautiful tribute you gave to Laura. I know so many people said they could not have done what you did, but I know your strength and compassion came from the great and complete love you have for Laura. Thank you! Well, Anthony is smiling and Laura is too to be with him again, and now they both are watching and smiling on all of you. Remember we are always here for all of you. Love Lucille & Paul

Please except our Sympathy and condolences in Laura's passing.
"We are never prepared for the loss of a loved one, but God is always prepared to help us through that loss.
May His presence begin the healing in your heart and soul, and may His love surround you with the comfort only He can give.
LIFE...so fragile. LOSS... so sudden. HEART...so broken.
In the wake of such a loss, we're haunted by things we don't - and may never - understand. Yet the solace we seek may not come from answers. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you, hold you close, and give you peace".

May all the wonderful memories of her bring you some comfort during your time of grief.

Sincerely,
Linda (Robin's friend)

Try to take comfort knowing that she is with her SAVIOR whom she truly loved and believed in and had a wonderful relationship with....GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY.
Sincerely.
