I didn't know sister Sousa personally, however i knew some of her family. She was spoken of fondly and from what I hear she was a very faithful sister. She is now in Jehovahs memorie and awaiting the call from the memorial tomb. Not a long wait, yes Jehovah is GOOD!

Laura was a true loving and loyal servant of Jehovah. I can't wait to see her in the new world!

Laura was a great example of loyalty to Jehovah and shared her spiritural knowledge with others when ever and where ever she found a hearing ear. I feel priviledged to have known her and shared in the ministry with her.

Laura was my grandmother, but more than that, she was my "Naomi." She allowed me to join with her in her journey in serving the true God. Along the way she provided me with wise counsel and genuine loving concern. Her fine spiritual example and unbending faith are truly worthy of imitation. I look forward to the day when she hears Jehovah's call and awakens to his promised righteous new earth. (2 Pet 3:13).
