Laurel was a special friend! We shared wonderful memories from a group trip we were on in 1984 to Finland, Sweden and Norway! I know it was a highlite in both our lives! Much sympathy and prayers to Tim and all her family. She will be missed by many! God Bless!

So sorry to hear the news of Laurel´s passing. I really enjoyed our short visits when she would make it back to MI (Dover Road). She LOVED the farm and found it difficult to drive away when it was time to head east.
May the family find peace during this difficult time.
