To Laura's friends and family. I'm truely sorry for the pain and sorrow you must be feeling losing a loved one. I met Laura a few times, she was always kind, with a beautiful smile and made my brother Gene very happy. Laura meant the world to Gene, she will be missed dearly. My last memory of Laura, was on my Birthday when she "suprised" me by bringing Gene and Hannah to my party. I was so happy, we took some great pictures and had alot of fun.
A Loss of This World
Laure was a person that only brought smiles and laughter to many.. She will be missed by my family as well as myself greatly. We love you Laure

Sorry for your loss
Surely Laure Anne opened her eyes and immediately saw Jesus with His arms outstretched for a welcome home hug. She now fully understands all of God's mysterious ways.
We are sending this poem to help you realize Laure is standing beside Jesus, able to watch over you in a nano-second.
"In Loving Memory:
Home At Last!
I’m home at last my loved ones,
With my Father in the sky;
He called my name so sweetly,
He called me home on high.
My time on earth was precious,
Truly blessed with all your love;
Those times are now your memories,
As I watch you from above.
No longer do I walk in pain,
Or feel such agony;
My weakness has become my strength,
Home at last, I’m finally free.
I’ve served my time and paid my dues,
According to Gods plan;
Eternal peace He's granted me,
Now I’m sitting at Gods right hand.
Don't cry for me in sorrow,
For my life is better now;
My frail body has been restored,
I’m riding on the clouds.
You're always in my heart,
With good times that have passed;
But praise the Lord in Heaven,
I’m finally home at last!"
Tom and Donna

The Zelley Family
No words can express the loss we feel. Laure was a young, vibrant, full of life and love person. We had the privilege of knowing her most of her life and lots of memories and love that will live on and cherish forever. She was a very important part to all of our family and I know Mom and Dad greeted her along with her grandfather at the gates of heaven.
Please accept our condolences and know our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
I am so sorry to hear about
I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your dear loved one. The time spent with them always seems so short. Please find comfort in the promise from God that he will resurrect our loved ones, John 5:28. The bible also says that "Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." Psalms 34:18. My prayers are with you and your family, Sandy
