Laura J. IRBY

Happy birthday in Heaven Mom! Thinking about you and your friendship today.

I have truly been at a loss for words. Laura was such a giving, dedicated person. Her family was her world. We talked often about how different the world is now & the life we wanted for our families & friends (God in their lives, love, good health, safety, education & good jobs). These conversations usually occurred while driving home together from a Class Luncheon. She worked very hard to keep the Class of 1957 HHS informed of all "the happenings".
Laura will be missed...

Shocked and saddened to learn of my dear friend's passing. My deepest sympathy to her loving family and friends. She was one of my best friends in Buckroe Jr. and Hampton High Schools. She was a loyal friend and confidant, finding her on classmates 12 years ago made up for lost time. Even as a teenager, she was so wise and gave the best advice. I loved her dearly and will miss everything about her. May God Bless her family. Barbara Fuller Knight, Columbus, Ohio

I am so sorry to hear about your Mom passing away! She was such a sweet, kind woman and I know you will miss her dearly. I will definitely keep you and your family in my prayers!

I am so sorry to read about the passing of Laura. I miss sharing dog stories and other animal anecdotes with her. Please know that you - her most beloved ones - are in my thoughts and prayers.

Cant tell you how many times Ive picked up the phone to talk to you...still hard to believe you are gone...but never forgotten......

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Laura. We've been in contact over the last thirty-two years, though we haven't seen her in a long time. Happy memories will provide comfort.

To Laura's family:

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Laura. I moved from Buckroe Beach to California after graduation and lost contact with classmates. Through her emails I could feel her warmth and goodness like you can hear a "smile" in a voice and was looking forward to meeting her at the re-union. She was special. May God bless and comfort you in your loss. Janet (Tury) Bunker

Irby Family, I was so sorry to hear of the death of your beloved Laura. I know she will be greatly missed. Praying for your family.
