To Laura's family,
You have lost so much with Laura's passing. I know the strength she had in her life will help you as you go forward. She was a bright presence and always had a smile to share with everyone who knew her. I will always treasure the years I knew her and the time we spent in NROTC. May God's comfort surround all of you.

Dear Jeff, Lillian, Gene and Berwarger families
I am so sorry that you all had to endure the death of such a great loved one. She was and is a beautiful person. Her life was lived for Jesus and knowing this, where she lives right now, the reunion will be that much greater when the time comes. May God be with all of yu not just in this difficult time, but forever.

Dear Jeff and Family,
Words cannot express the sorrow we feel at the loss of your Sweetheart. We remember how excited and happy Laura was when she told us she was getting married and how much she loved you! Next to God himself, you were the shinning center of her life! Her love will always be with you and so will the memories of her beautiful smiles. God Bless you for the few years you had with Laura. That's more happiness than most people ever have in two lifetimes! Our daily prayers reach out to you in this time of great sadness and loss.

Dear Gene and Lillian,
Our hearts are broken and will be forever sad at the loss of your dear, sweet Laura! I still cannot believe it when I look at her happy Morning Star pictures - - surrounded by her Girl Scout sisters. God just stepped in and reclaimed his beautiful flower! She was always a leader and now she leads the way to heaven for us. May the Lord of Healing bless each of you and comfort you as only He is able. With deepest sympathy and tears.
