Dr.Chrismer and family:
My toughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I have know Laura for over 10 yrs and served with her on the YWCA board. She was a very giving person and made a difference in many resident's lives.
I loved her stories of travel and adventures. She opened up her beautiful home for get togethers and you and her were great hosts! "The Wedding" was shared with friends and the happiness in her voice and eyes sharing pictures from the beginning when she told us of the wedding to "the wedding" were beautiful. She will be truly missed in our community and by everyone she came in contact with daily. What a Lady !!
God's Blessings to all the family.
