I was very saddened to hear of Laura's passing! She was a great person! I had the pleasure of knowing her when I worked in the medical field! We once went together to the Kirby to see Tom Jones in concert back in early 2000! It was one of her greatest joys to be able to attend this concert and to meet Tom Jones personally backstage and speak with him in Welsh! She will be missed! May she Rest In Peace.
We love you always!
