Visiting Laura and Basil in 1999

I am so saddened to hear of Laura's passing. I have known her for my entire life. She was the closest and dearest friend of my Grandmother, Vonna McNiff. I remember her and Basil well from my visits to Atlanta as a child. Later we became good friends in our own right, with Laura visiting me and my wife several times in Germany. I will miss most her sense of humor and her wonderful laugh, and the crazy stories she used to tell of what she and Grandmother Vonna used to do.

Dear Family,
I dreamed I was at the grocery store and I looked up and there was Laura. She gave me a big hug! I told here it was so good to see her and that I know my mother would love to see her! My mother(Joann Johnson) and Laura were good friends. I was just asking my mother if she had heard from Laura a few days ago! We did not know she had passed. I believe Laura came to give me a goodbye hug! When I woke from my dream I looked at the ATL obituaries and found she had gone home to be with the Lord! Amen! Maybe some to the family will find comfort in this message. Love, Joi Black

Dear Family,
We were so sorry to learn today of Laura Lee's passing. Although we didn't get to visit in person, we will really miss our phone calls with our very sweet cousin. The world is a much sadder place without her happy spirit.
In love and sympathy,
Christopher J. and LouAnn Stark
