Laura was passionately devoted to God, her family, friends and her work. She loved all animals and was actively involved in animal rescue. She lived her life committed to excellence and gave her all, in everything she did.
Words cannot express how deeply she will be missed by so many that loved her. She had an uncanny ability to make everyone feel so special and loved.
We request that Laura's legacy of unyielding, unconditional love be continued by all that knew her.
