Dear Anne, Fred, and your Families,

I was so sorry to receive this e-mail from my sister letting me know of the passing of your Mother. I have fond memories of watching TV at your home with you and your parents prior to our having a TV (and our dog waiting on your front stoop) in the early 50s as well as us going to school together. I also remember your Mother as the teacher at Mrs. Pace's when my brother graduated from kinder program. My prayers are with you and your families at this most difficult time--I do understand since I have been there.

In prayer and thought,
Elvira (Vera) Szigeti

Ann and Fred - How I wish we could be in Hopewell to comfort you in person. Aunt Laura was a beautiful lady and will be greatly missed. She was probably the most gentile woman I have ever known, with eyes that sparkled when she smiled. I will cherish,even more, the picture I had taken with her at Tim's wedding. All our love, Deb and Morgan.

Laura touched the lives of many, including ours. We will forever remember the many things she did for others. From our home in Florida we send our condolences to her family and many friends.
