My heart aches over the loss of my aunt.  She was my sounding board and confidante.  We talked often about what we were involved in, keeping each other informed about family members, and occasionally talked politics.  She had a heart of gold and was always concerned about others.  We ended every conversation with "I Love You."

Over the years, I've enjoyed spending time with her by visiting, gardening, shucking tons of corn, sharing recipes, driving the back roads in October in search of Black Walnuts, cleaning the headstones in Scearce Cemetery...It took us days to get the job done, and even riding ATVs to the top of Clinch Mtn.

She was such a joy to me and I will treasure my memories forever.  Oh, how I will miss you, but I know you are safe in your new home.  You have earned your wings in this life, Aunt Should (Shug).  It is now time to fly away BEAUTIFUL ANGEL.  I will see you again.

My sincerest condolences to the family.

May the God of all comfort grant you peace and strength during this most difficult time.

                     Laura was such a sweet, loving person.  God please bring comfort and peace to all her loved ones, family, and friends, in Jesus name I pray, Amen!

We are sorry for your loss!  Laura was a good friend of our mom, Delanor Speeks.  They had so much fun working the Wednesday night dinners at Smithwood.  They had their grocery lists and shopping trips all planned out early in the week.  They didn't mind the hard work because they loved working together and made fun out of it!  I expect if they have Wednesday night dinners in heaven, mom, Peggy, and Laura are in charge!

We're so very sorry for your loss.   You're in our thoughts and prayers.

From the First Comforter Church Family, we wish to express our condolences.  We pray the Lord sends his Comforter to each person touched by Laura's life.

Alice, I am so sorry for the loss of your Mother!  Just remember all of the days that you had her with you and know that one day you will be together again!

So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of visiting  your folks when I was a student at UT. May God's amazing grace comfort your hearts. Praying for all of you.
