    Rest In peace Laura, I am sure you were met by the Lord and many wild horses in vast fields, you will be remembered for all the amazing things you did and we will all miss that amazing smile! Never stop watching over us, as your friends will never stop forgetting you.

    Laura, I’ll miss you forever. Thanks for sharing some of the happiest, craziest times of our lives. Pet Roper and Bugsy for me and give Jerry a hug. Love you, Bobbsey #1.

    Rest in peace my friend. I know you were soooo happy to see Bugs! I know you two are happy to be back together and both riding around heaven with your angel wings!

    Even though we haven’t spoken in some time, we were in contact via Facebook. Most recently about your kitten with the ravenous appetite!

    You will be missed.

    Wow, Laura, I can’t believe you are no longer with us. You still look the same as you did on the picture on Facebook. It doesn’t look like you had aged at all. You were always so sweet and fun to be around. Gosh we were so young, you me Brian Winkeler. I still remember when you 2 started dating.
    My heart goes out to you and your family, and for Lenny Brand, buddy I am so sorry for your loss. It wasn’t only a couple of months ago Laura and I were chatting on Facebook and she told me that you were the best thing to ever come into her life. I will keep you in my prayers my old friend, and I wish you much happiness in the future. If I can do anything for you just give me a call, ok.
    My no. Is 636-222-8536.
    Love you brother, take care.

    There are no words that can express the depth of sorry we feel for your loss, Barbara, Larry and to all her family and friends. Laura was special in so many ways and was truly loved by our family. She never met a stranger and we admired her friendly demeanor and kindness. Her love of animals and nature made her shine in a place of happiness and peacefulness. She was so excited to make her first St. Louis gooey butter cake, which was her and Lou’s favorite. I think they ate it all…This is not good bye, but till we meet again sweet Laura. May God bless your family with his strength and peace.
