to God, family, and her community. She loved Jesus and faithfully portrayed His steadfast love. She was

Mark’s rock, rudder, sounding board, and the family’s ambassador to the world. She made our home

easy to enter and difficult to leave. Laura was known best for her hospitality, generosity, and her

unforgettable hugs. The family takes comfort in knowing she is now tending the gardens of heaven

happily in the presence of the Lord.
