My heart goes out to everyone who loved Aunt Laura. Some of my fondest childhood memories are when I spent weeks at a time with Aunt Laura and her extended family.
I know she’s in Heaven having a wonderful reunion with all the loved ones there, especially her boy Sonny. Aunt Laura’s faith in God was her mainstay in life. It never wavered, she knew our Lird was with her always. I’ll miss making her laugh and her saying “you’re the ornery one Celia”.
We will see her again when the Lord decides to call us home.
I met Laura not long ago, I
I met Laura not long ago, I only had a short time with her. We connected immediately, I so enjoyed her love of crafting, laughing and loving life so intensely. She is a great inspiration to me. What a special person to so many. Saddened by this loss but so blessed to have know her. My prayers to family.
Aunt Laura I'm saddened by
Aunt Laura I'm saddened by our loss but rejoicing at the same time for you.I know you're in heaven. Your faith was always your strength. Our historian is no longing here. You always were so sharp and told us a lot about family when we had questions. The Lord ,Mom, my Shelly , Uncle Walt and your Sonny and Mae are all happily together along with the Hilton and Johnson clan. We were always around you growing up..Your parents and sisters and brothers were always also our family.I love you so much.

I didn't really get to meet her. I would ask Miss Carolyn at times how she was and what she was doing to keep herself active. My heart goes out to all the family members in this time of loss.
