Gene and I were saddened to hear about Laura. We have so many fond memories of her musical activities and performances with the Naples Music Club. Laura was truly an outstanding member of the musical community in Naples. Laura will be remembered for here talent, kindness, and devotion to all who knew here. Laura will be missed by all who performed and worked with her. With deepest sympathy, Richard Holmberg and Gene Fort

It is with my deepest sympathy that I send all of the family my loving thoughts about Laura. It would be impossible for me describe my inner most feelings about my love for Laura. We shared many special moments-laughs,stories, some tears, hopes and dreams daily as we sat in Mitch's office....Laura will remain a dear friend and inspiration as my journey continues......she will be missed greatly...How can I get in touch with you? With love always, Arlene DaSilva
