I graduated with Laura in 1978 from Lawrence High School. Laura was a very special classmate. She would help you when you needed it.
My prayers go out to the family.

I only got to know Laura from work but that was enough to know what a great person she was. Though she will be greatly missed, her pain is over, and her valiant strugle was an inspiration to all of us.
