Dear Helen and Jon,
I was deeply saddened by Laura's parting away. She was a good fighter and fought until now. She will be missed greatly. May God give you strength to get through this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss. No parent should ever have to lose a child. Our loving Creator knows how hard this is on you. We are told at Ezekiel 18:32 for I do not take any delight in the death of someone dying, is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord . As you can see, He does not like death anymore than we do. It is not his will for us to die which is why He has given us the hope of everlasting life! (Psalms 37:9-11, 29; Rev. 21:3, 4). As the God and Father of tender mercies, He wants you to find comfort in Him through prayer (2Cor 1:3).

Laura was an amazing person to be around. She always made me laugh, when I looked sad. She was the best Foster sister I ever had.

Memories are the legacy of love. So when your heart is empty, fill it with happy memories.
