Her smile lite up the sky. Her personality was contagious. She always made us laugh and smile. God choose Lara to be a beautiful flower in his flower garden. She blessed many people and touched many hearts. It has been so nice to see the support Willie ,Chaitin,Daitin, and Case have had. THank You all family, friends, neighbors and anyone who has been there. RIP Lara Jean, you will be missed. You may have been our cousin's wife, but to all of us, you felt more like a sister.

My prayers are with Willie and the children as well as Lara's parents and brother and sister in law. Also praying for all friends and those who will miss her. She is in the arms of Jesus and she will never suffer again. May God give you peace and comfort and wrap His loving arms around you. I Thess 4:13-18
Brothers and Sisters, we do not want you to be uniformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him. According to the Lord's word, we tell yo that we sho are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himselfwill come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
