Larry and Ava, I'm so sorry for your loss. I met Laura Beth as a student in my Spanish class. She was such a beautiful girl. May she rest in peace. God bless you and your family.

I found out early on, before most. I was in disbelief like it was a joke or something. That´s what I told myself. Isn´t it funny how a lie can be more comforting than the truth sometimes? I am devastated. Heartbroken. I don´t know. RIP Laura. The world is a little less now that you are gone

Laura and I weren´t close in HS- but she was one of the nicest, sweetest "popular" kids. I was always sure to have extra gum with me as she knew I had it. One class we had weeks of history reviews and you could use any notes you took. The day before the test she asked if she could copy anyone´s notes and the teacher was snarky and said "if someone´s willing to help". Photocopied my notes and the test went well. She was always so sweet, out of her way to be nice and a general great person of our class. Definitely gone too soon

Dear Ava and Larry,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
I remember Laura as a baby trying so hard to stay awake when it was nap time. She didn't want to miss anything!
Love, Dave and Joan Houser
