Laura tended me when we lived in Malad. Rex and I were "best friends". She was a wonderful person and will be missed by all.

We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Laura's passing. She was always so nice to us. We enjoyed coming to visit her when we came to her farm as children. We will miss seeing her at Dorius family reunions. May the Lord bless and comfort all of her family both near and extended. With all our love,

I am sure there will be a joyous reunion in heaven when Aunt Laura is reunited with all of her loved ones, who have gone before her. She was indeed, a lady, a shining example to all who knew her. I hope you will have the strength to endure the loss of your dear Mother, Grandmother, Sister and friend,
My love, Pamela Carter Lenhart, Uncle Morris Carter's daughter

Dear Family:
We were saddened to hear of the passing of Aunt Laura. She was always a lady and we appreciated so much the kind care she gave to Grandma Carter for so long. We would loved to have been there for the service but we are serving a LDS mission in Riverside California. We hope and pray that all will go well with the services for Laura. She was a true Saint.
With love,
Elder & Sis. Campbell(Glen & DiAnne)
