Aunt Laura was a beautiful soul. I remember her so vividly from when I was a young girl. She was so pretty and always kind and loving. My mom has often said, "she was the best thing that ever happened to Uncle Sonny."
Jim, Sam, and Stephanie---I feel your loss. To lose someone so "in your corner" is devastating. I hope you and your families think of all the happy times and good memories of her and that they will sustain you through this sad one. Remember, she is now with Uncle Sonny, and we are stuck
here. :)
I love you guys, Catherine
Jim, Sam and Steph, Thinking of all of you. Know you’re missing your sweet Mama but how wonderfully lucky you were to have had her as your Mom, so many lessons learned from her. Please know we are sorry for your loss and extend our sympathy to the three of you and the grands. Can we do anything
