I remember Laura as a tireless volunteer, working to enhance the playing experience for the students in Waukegan High School's marching band. She was a gifted seamstress, and would move Heaven and Earth if that's what it took to make those young musicians look fabulous out on the field. She was a kind, giving person, and she will be truly missed. Deepest condolences to her family.
