LAURA HIGGINS

I worked with Laura for 8 years at Tuality and she was a wonderful patient advocate. We became friends outside of work and shared a love of the Lord and Longaberger baskets. When she was diagnosed and had to leave nursing she leaned hard on her faith and always meet friends with a smile. I did not realize just how sick she was the last time I saw her, and I am sure that is just the way she wanted it. I miss her...goodbye Laura.

What a beautiful picture of a beautiful person. I knew Laura from back in grade school in Fircrest. She was always smart, pretty and nice. I hadn't seen her for many years, but met again through a mutual childhood friend, Julie Dodge Wilson.I also ran into her sister Debra who was working at the grade school and middle school that my two daughters attended. I am very sorry for the loss of a remarkable person.

Laura was an amazing woman and she will be sorely missed. I am a member of Our Place Christian Church where I learned to love and appreciate how much she shared herself with others. I hate pain and I do not know that I could have been as gracious as she was throughout her battle with cancer. Laura, now you are pain-free! Praise the Lord.

I worked with Laura in PCU at Tuality. In 2000 my husband, Richard was a patient there and Laura cared for him. They really bonded in the couple days she was his nurse. Whenever there was an event or dinner that spouses attended he always appreciated seeing somone he knew.

Two years in a row Laura asked to carpool with me to Fall Symposium, a 2 day class held on the other side of Portland. One morning traffic was really backed up on hwy 26 so Laura suggested we go the back...

There is hope in each new tomorrow!! Laura and David had hope and I am sure that is what kept her going in her battle for so long. She will be missed greatly but never forgotten. Love, Peggy Lande

Laura I have learned so much from you. You raised my little girl so that I could grow up to be a better mother for her and everything she accomplishes at school now is because of your time with her and the many things you taught her. I am so thankful for that. You are so missed by all of us but you are no longer in pain and you are probably up there looking at us telling us to stop crying like babies...lol. I love you so much you were always in my heart one of my mothers. Thank you and god...

Laura has left the world WE know … and all who knew her will miss her dearly!
But oh my goodness -- what joy and happiness she is having while dancing in heaven, cancer free, and in the presence of Jesus!

She showed her love for God every day and not just to those who knew her closely, but others who were friends of friends and read her testimony of faith on face book. The Holy Spirit was in her and her love and faith of our Lord was her strength even...

God saw that she was getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around her and he wispered
" Laura, come with me."
With tearful hearts we watched her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we couldnt make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts and proved to us..He only takes the Best!
Laura, You taught me how to live and you taught me how to die. Thank You for taking your time on earth to make a difference...

No matter what kind of day Laura was having she always thought of others and their needs. She always made me laugh and she was a great inspiration to me. Her Faith and trust in God was overwhelming and a good example to all of us. She never told God how big her storm was...instead she told her storm how big her God is. I will treasure our friendship and memories forever. I will always love and miss her. I will continue to pray for her family and her husband Dave.
