Uncle Oscar:

I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Laura. Growing up I always experienced her as kind, loving and accepting.I am sad not to be with you all in Rumford today.

To Oscar and all of her decendents:
I guess I am one of the oldest living people who has been priviledged to have known Laura since January 27, 1945, the day I married Arline Fournier in Rumford. Maine. I met you, Oscar, later when you returned from the service in Italy. The last time I saw you both was at your home in The Villages, Florida when Bill, Jr. and I visited you folks. You had a wonderful,long, marriage that everyone would long to have. I vividly remember the good times we had with you two when Arline and I lived in Rumford. Since I will be 93 years old on July 9th, son, Bill, Jr. and twin grandsons, Marc and Michael felt I should be near them, thus I ended up here in Columbia, Maryland. Upon my death, my ashes will be joined with Arline's in our niche at Arlington National Cemetary in Washington, D.C. I would love to hear from anyone and can be reached at 6336 Cedar Lane, Columbia, MD 21044, or wtapplegate167@ yahoo.com, or 410-531-1851.

Oscar & Laura's Farewell Lunch in The Villages

Dear Oscar & Family,
My deepest sympathy to you in the loss of your loving wife, mother and grandmother. I had the wonderful opportunity to know Laura through my friendship with Oscar as members of The Villages String Orchestra. I will always remember Laura's beautiful smile as she on occasion would sit and listen to Oscar and me play our violin and piano duets in The Villages Regional Hospital lobby. A life well-lived is one of God's greatest gifts. May His perpetual light shine upon Laura and grant her eternal rest.

What a joy and privilege it has been to come to know dear, sweet Laura over the last 10 years. I will miss listening to her tell stories from her long, rich life, with all her humorous perspectives and observations and watching her unique facial expressions as she "spun the yarn". I will miss her tender kiss and kissing her soft, gentle face. I will miss her constant support and sympathy ("Poor Michael") although I know it was undeserved but I still loved it. She was my constant fan. I am so happy that you are finally free from the suffering of that failing body. And most of all I am ever so grateful for your greatest gift to me, the perfect incarnation of your own bright spirit, your daughter Jane. Rest in peace my dear Mummy and friend.
