Laura Merkel

"Not a day goes by that I don't miss you Doll. I have lots of pictures scrolling on my computer screen and when one of you appears, I blow you a kiss (Grandpa too). Every time I see Bobbi Jean, I see your beautiful face. You would be so proud of your daughter. I love you, I miss you. "Favorite" Aunt Sue

Laura, we are reminded of you everyday in the face of your beautiful daughter, Bobbi Jean. She has your smile, your laugh and your imagination. Continue to watch over her to help her grow. We miss you. Love, Mom, Dad, Bobbi Jean

It has been 4 long years since my dear, dear Laura passed away. I miss you every day. But............I do see you every 2 weeks and every holiday in your beautiful daughter; the love of my life, Bobbi Jean. Bobbi Jean looks just like you when you were growing up . I thank God for allowing you to live on in your daughter, my Godchild, and Great niece. Miss you doll!

Dearest Laura you are always in my heart I speak to you everyday and I thank you so much for giving us BobbiJean she is loved so much by so many people I see her everyday and watch cartoons on my telephone she prefers that to the TV because she can be in control and pick any cartoon that she likes and also we practice writing her name and age I talk about you to BobbiJean and tell her what nice times we had just talking on the telephone from Florida to Pennsylvania I call her little Laura...

Laura, we continue to miss you everyday. No one is reminding us of birthdays and anniversaries so a few have been late. Bobbi Jean is growing up to be a beautiful young girl. She looks so much like you. She is even developing your silly laugh. We know you are watching over your lovely daughter, keeping her safe and happy. We love you.

Dear Merkel Family,

I am so sorry. All of you are in my prayers. I have good memories of Laura as a student at Notre Dame of Bethlehem. She brought her pleasantness, enthusiasm, and caring into the classroom.

God bless Laura with eternal peace and may He give you strength and consolation.

With Sympathy,

Linda and Family,

So sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful daughter. Please accept our condolences. You and your family are in our prayers. May she rest in peace.

Laura was a bright shining light in this world that will surely be missed. Her infectious smile, laugh and mischievous twinkle in her eye brought joy to many. She was the most loyal person I’ve ever known. She loved fiercely and unconditionally. I cannot bare to imagine the pain her family must be going through. Please know that I’m keeping you all in my prayers, always.
With the deepest, most heartfelt condolences,

Sarah Bialker
