The Stevenson family sends prayers, love, hugs and our deepest sympathy to Laura's family and friends. She became a part of our extended family when our son married her sister, MaryEllen. Even though we didn't get to know her that well, we could see that Laura was a very special woman. She was always pleasant and friendly when we would see each other at family events. She welcomed our son, Christopher, into her family with open arms. She bought up two amazing sons that any mother would be proud of. She touched the lives of others in ways she may not have even known. As a mother, I personally felt a kindship with her when our son was found to be on the autism spectrum. She was brave and strong in her fight against her battle with cancer, as with other challenges she may have faced in life. We pray that happy memories will carry her loved ones through this difficult time.

I will forever be grateful to Laura taking a chance on me and the impact it had it on my career. I was at a crossroads professionally seeking opportunities to join an organization that aligned with my values and would allow me leverage my strengths. Your guidance and support re-energized me, giving me the clarity I was seeking. My deepest sympathy and thoughts go out to Laura's family.
