To Laura's family: I know this has been a most difficult year and I pray that your sadness has lessened. I just wanted you to know that although I knew Laura briefly, I will never forget her. You should be very proud of her; she touched everyone who met her and inspired them to be a better person. She was truly a beautiful girl whose light shone from within and radiated to everyone around her.

Dear Allred family,
I was "leafing" through legacy.com & found this guestbook for your daughter. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. 20 is so young, I know.. but GOD had plans that we all werent "privy" to. My last name is Allred too.(by marriage.). I always feel a special kinship with people who share my last name.
I know words can't make you feel better, but I hope & pray that everyday gets just a little bit easier for you. I have 5 children & I can't imagine losing one of my children. But, what we want, is not always in God's plans. One of my daughter's full name is Bayleigh Elisabeth Allred. Bayleigh & Laura share a similar name. That is so sweet.
Please know that Laura & your family are in my prayers. Laura will always be with you . Never forget that.
God Bless each one of you,

Georgia & Monte,

My prayers and love are with you. I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I don't know how to comfort you, or have any words that will help you through this so terribly horrible time, I can tell you that I have found memories of Laura. Mike, myself & our children think that she was a most precious little girl and now she is a most precious little angel. She had a bright light on earth and now she has an even brighter light. I loved her from the first time I met her, you just couldn't help too. I wish I could help to ease your pain, but I cannot, all I can do is tell you that I'am one of those friends that will be on their knees praying for you and your family. And because of Laura I'am holding my children a little tighter. I love you both and if I can do anything at all please call. Again, I'm so very sorry that this has happened to your family.

Laura came into our lives thru Justin Pullen, he's like a son to me, so when I met Laura, I admit, I was sizing her up. We had them at our home several occations, We enjoyed her so much, her since of humor and darling smile will remain with me always, I'm so greatful for the memories and the crossing of our paths with such a vital, lively child of God, she has been a blessing to so many and brought sunshine to our lives. Our hearts bleed for your loss, she's Gods angel and is with us always.My grandfather used to say when he saw little children, GOd love their little time, now that I'm grown and have grown children and have suffered many losses, I now understand what he meant. Sweet Laura until we meet again, God loved your little time and your little time blessed so many!!Gods Speed,
I pray for your peace,
sincerely,
