Laura was loved and will be dearly missed by those who knew her. “Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free. I’m following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call, I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work or play. Task left undone must stay that way. I found that place at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a hug, Ah yes these things I’ll miss too. Be not burdened with times of sorrow. I wish you the sunshine if tomorrow. My life has been full, I’ve savored much. Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch. Perhaps my time seemed all to brief. Don’t lengthen it now with undo grief. Lift up your heart and share with me… God wanted me now. He set me free”. – Unknown.
