Dear Bev, Ron and Family,
I was very saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. My mother, Evelyn MacLeod Villeneuve and yours were great friends from the Burgh. The last time I saw her was at my mother's service in 2002. Your Mom was headed for Vegas the following day and looking forward to a great girls' getaway.She was such a lively person. Everyone so enjoyed being around her. She will be missed.
Please accept our sincere condolences. She was very special.

so very sorry we cannot get back for the service... but we visited with Laura a number of times over the past few weeks and still, there was that spark of fun in her eyes.

We will cherish and love her forever. Her passing marks the end of an era and she was the brightest light through all those years. We shall miss her.

Laura graced our home many times with her wit and charm. She and our mother (Cousin Isabel McAteer) were very close until our mom's passing in '61.
Our sincere condolences go out to all the families connected to this special lady.

Sorry to hear about Laura. I worked with Laura at the City of Ottawa many years ago. She was the one that hired me. We had many laughs and fun. My prayers are with her family.
