Laura will certainly be missed. I had the pleasure of knowing Laura for many years as we went to school together in Roswell and graduated from Goddard together in 1971.
Amazing lady and always had a smile on her face!
Praying for her family.

My deep condolences to Laura's family and friends. I attended school for many years in Roswell, NM, with Laura. I don't think I've ever met anyone who was so genuinely kindhearted. What a smile! What a brain! What a talent! May your fond memories of Laura keep her forever in your hearts. Blessings to you all.

What a warm and loving person. I attended high school with Laura and she always treated me like a good friend. This was unusual for me as I was way way in the background. So kind and caring always concerned for others. Thank you Laura I will be looking for you when I get there.
