Dear Joe, Joey and Michael – we are so sorry for your loss. We’re keeping you close in our thoughts and prayers. We pray you will find comfort in your happy memories, God’s love and knowing Laura is at peace. Love, Connieann, Patrick, Ryan and Lauren Heelan
Incredibly sad news of Laura’s passing. Growing up together and then coming together again years later to pray a weekly rosary with her parents, I was always enthused when Laura came through the door on Friday evening with Rich and Marjorie. There was a certain serenity she exuded that came from her spiritual confidence. Good job, dear woman….you will be missed by many but your legacy will remain. May Mother Mary greet you personally as you enter the gates of Heaven. Larry Young and Rita Young
My thoughts and prayers during this difficult time for all of you. I pray God holds you all in the palm of his hand.
We were so saddened to hear of Laura’s passing. We met Laura and her family when our son, Peter, became friends with Joe. Laura impressed us with her dedication to her family and devotion to her Catholic faith. Our heartfelt condolences to Joe Sr., Joe, Michael and all of Laura’s family during this difficult time. May the beautiful memories of her bring you comfort in this time of sorrow. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Sincerely yours, Carlos and Theresa Reyes
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Laura had a contagious smile and a laugh that always would make you happy and smile yourself. She had a heart of gold and warmed your heart each time you would see her. I am glad to have known her for all of these years and know she is happy in heaven but will be missed. I pray that your sorrow eases by the happy memories she would want you to remember. Again, I am so sorry.
