Aunt Laura. You were such a kind soul and such a giving person. You’ve done so much for me and my family growing up. You will be missed. You can rest now.

I am so sorry about your loss. Laura and James were my classmates at Seventh Ward Elementary at Denham Springs. I treasure my memories of those school days with them. I am praying for all of you.
