I only met Laura once, but I was very impressed by her spirituality. She was so deeply and unabashedly connected to God. She was also a very gracious hostess, and a wonderful cook!

Dear Mary, Sonya and Wally,
I knew Laura at Kent University between the years of 2000 and 2003. I remember that I didnt really know many people when I first started, I was feeling so alone and contemplating changing Uni's. When I met Laura she made things so much better..she was always inviting me to go out for a coffee or lunch and introduced me to others which also made me change my mind about staying.

I haven't seen Laura for at least 15 years but I never forgot her. We went to fleming together and I will always remember her sweet spirit. I will pray for her and your family. Also to Wally, you are in my thoughts.

To Mary, Sonya, Wally and Svetlana.
Earth has boundaries of territory and time,
limits of vision and understanding.
ETERNITY has no Customs Post:
its frontier beyond forever;
its harbour safe in storm and tempest;
its peace beyond our comprehension.
This now is Laura's homeland -
A little brighter for her smile;
More happy for the kindness residing in her eyes;
The beauty of her spirit now in perfect light.
May she rest in peace.
You...

Dear Mary, Sonya and Wally,
I am so very sorry to hear about Laura. I, too, remember her beautiful smile that made the day seem bright even on the darkest day.
If you find that you miss me,
Always look at the sun that rises in the morning
And the moon that rises in the evening.
Whatever the time, I will be reflected in the sun and the moon.
And let us meet in our next life.
Love, Valerie
