my most great memory of grandma was when she used to watch me and my brother and i would play waitress with her!!! i love you grandma!
I haven’t seen Aunt Laura for many years but I remember her well. Happy, smiling, kind to everyone. We can all delight in the life she lived and the example she was.As our former preacher would say “she has now graduated to Glory”. How awesome is that?
I have always loved Aunt Laura, a gentle kind soul, my mother’s sister. She always worked hard to provide for her family. I remember her horror when Lynette dropped a rock on my head while I was staying there for a week. on summer. She had to call my Mom (which was rare) and Mom took me to the Dr. (which was very rare) I had to have 1 stitch. Today I still have a deep dent in my skull, so I can blame my lack of memory on Lynette. , surely?
We loved Great Aunt Laura so much. She was a true beacon of love and will be in our hearts forever more.
Such a sweet lady!! I have been good friends with her daughter Lynnette for years and her niece Betsie Routh, my heart is saddened with her passing but shall always remember her sweetness and giving heart ❤️ RIP dear Laura!

I will always remember Laura and her sweet smile. She trained me to be a good waitress. She was a awesome lady. It was a pleasure to have known her throughout the years. I would see her in assisted living and in rehab at Meadow lakes
