Tribute to Laura

I learned this weekend that one of the most wonderful people in the world is no longer with us, far before her time.  This news took all of us by surprise and all that loved her are still trying to digest this new reality.  Laura was one of those people who always had a smile on her face.  There are many of us out fortunate enough to have so many wonderful memories with her - she made life fun and could laugh at anything. These photos say it all.  They show her zest for life and how happy she was despite health issues her past few years.  She never complained.  What a role model she is for all of us.

She would be embarassed that she was in a blog, that is just the way she was, she never wanted to be the center of attention.  But what a wonderful person with the most marvelous husband and two grown children who have a lot of her wonderful qualities.  Life is not fair.  She should still be with us!  We miss her terribly and it's still hard to understand why she is not here with us right now as she should be.  Laura, I am certain that you are now making the angels in heaven as happy as you made those around you on earth.
