Ellen, I don’t know if you remember me, a friend of Laura’s from junior high school. I am sending Laura and you deepest condolences on your loss. I remember your mother as a vibrant, creative, cheerful person who was always kind to me when I visited your house. She had a great spirit and two lovely daughters.

We are so sorry Laura, Ben, and Kat. I never knew your Mom, however she sounds like she was a very special person. Even tho it’s so hard to say goodbye to our Moms, I’m sure she’s in heaven looking down lovingly at her legacy, your wonderful family.
