Laurette's son, Donald, was my childhood friend. Laurette and her husband, Raymond, were kind, thoughtful, and generous adults. They were blessed with an extraordinary real life sense of humor, intelligent and spontaneous, one that naturally sparked wide smiles and genuine laughter. Though I was only a kid, I will always remember how they warmly welcomed me into their home across from Clifford Park, even inviting me to stay for lunch or including me on a family fishing trip -- where I caught my first fish! They were a true family and I am eternally grateful for the special memories they gave me.
