Potters auto sales. Fair price for a reliable car. The bays of heaven are of people like Laurie. Woman of strength; are the mechanics of Christ.

George and Makayla, I am heartbroken to hear about Laurie's passing. I knew Laurie for years and she was such a beautiful person. She would make me laugh on some of those tough days at work. May you find peace. Berni Malek
