Laura and I met when we were 16 years old. We shared a special friendship. We did not reside in the same state but we kept in touch through the years.
Laura was there for me during many hard times and I admired her strength and courage through all of her sicknesses and struggles. Even though she had difficult relationships with family and friends, we always worked out any differences and remained true friends. Laura had an unbelievable amount of strength, empathy, and generosity despite her struggles. I admired and respected here as she took care of her Dad for years during his illnesses. I will truly miss my long time friend. I am rest assured that she will not suffer anymore and she is with the Lord and resting beside her parents.
