Dear Doug and Family:
Your mother/grandmother was beautiful!!! How sad that she is gone at such a young age and that she passed the day after her 67th birthday. She was only exactly two months older than I, so this really puts things into perspective for me.
I am sure that you all have just the fondest of memories of Laura and will find so much comfort in sharing them with each other.
May God be with you all and help you get through this difficult time; and may He hold each of you in the palms of His hands.
