Dear Jeff, so sorry to hear of Laurie passing. It seem like yesterday I stopped by the your and we chatted about your blueberry patch in the field. Not only was she a fun person to work with, she enjoyed her life with you. May she rest in peace and watch over you while you plow those fields God Bless.
