My children and I were honored to move into your neighborhood two years ago. You and Margy took us in and we were hooked. You became one of my dearest friends. I never met sisters like you and Margy. You both lived life for twenty people and still had time to make some lost souls feel like they were home. Lauren, Matthew and I know that you are home. You are now with your Mother and Father and you get to see your brother. You are with the angels because you were one.
We will miss you, LaRue, Lauren and Matthew Flammer
