Laura cherished her family including many nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews and extended family, sharing a close bond filled with love. Her gift was family; holidays, cookouts, game nights, four-leaf clover hunts, and time at the beach.
Laura's family would like to send a special thanks to the kind and caring staff and volunteers at the McClure Miller Respite House.
Please join her family for a celebration of life at Eagles Club, Milton, VT. On October 24th from 12-4pm.

My son Patrick was so sad to hear this. Ms Rose was a favorite of his at school. Strength and courage race to her family.
