    We will all miss Laurel. We met at a church function. Attended a Convention in Dallas with parents I went to visit them in OK and in city. There would be periods of time we wouldn’t see each other and then our paths would cross and we would pick up like no loss of time. We enjoyed each other’s company and time together. She was much more organized then me but helped me in many ways. Sorry to hear of her passing.
