Laura had a deep affection for her family, often expressing that she “loved all of her babies.” Her passions included old rock and roll music, listening to books on tape, and watching movies—especially those in foreign languages, which she enjoyed reading through subtitles. She had a particular fondness for exploring Goodwill stores, often driving miles to find sales. Laura also had a profound love for traveling and cherished experiencing God’s beautiful creations.
Laura’s warmth, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
