Jerry, and family. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Laura. For many years, so enjoyed our years of skiing. That is how I wanna remember Laura, on her game driving for us and skiing too. Until we met in Heaven, see you then. God I pray for comfort for the family. Love Tanya

I enjoyed working with Laura at NCDC. She was so kind and helpful as I started my career in 1990. My deepest condolences to the family. Tim Owen
Tim, I’m sorry I don’t remember all the people that Laura worked with at NCDC. I know that she enjoyed working there very much. Thank you for your kind words.
Tanya,
Thank you for your kind words. Laura and I had many fond memories of the Wild Life Club and the early morning skiing. We had hoped to retire at the lake, but God chose a different course for us. Thank you and love.
Having worked with Laura for many years at NCDC, I recall fondly her ready smile and quick wit. Her death is a loss to all who have known her.
Jerry, so sorry to hear of the passing of Laura. I do remember all the good times everyone had at the McDowell Wildlife Club. My prayers are for peace and strength for you and your family as you deal with the loss of Laura.
