Laura was an amazing person. She loved physical therapy and was a fun person to be around. I worked in PT with her for 7 years. She was always positive and fun loving. I am sorry to hear she passed both for you Jay and the boys. We send our deepest sympathy and our prayers. Lisa and Kent Graf

Laura was one of the PTs I worked with when I was just starting my career, she had always demonstrated kindness, patience and loved to laugh.

I met Laura and Jay when our boys played hockey. Good memories from those days. Laura always had a kind smile and just a sweet, kind and gentle soul. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jay, the boys and her family.

Laura and I went to PT school together and even lived in an apartment together our senior year. She and I started working at Hurley within 2 weeks of each other. She was very helpful introducing me to the Flint area. She was a great physical therapist and a joy to work with. I am so sorry for your families loss and praying for all of you.

Sad to hear of her passing. Just a year younger than me, I remember her from Ainsworth and she was a very sweet, friendly, smart girl. I'm happy for her having lived a fulfilling life. Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. The hope we have when we know Jesus as she certainly did, she is blessed. Blessings to you too Jay and all your family.
