I am deeply saddened to learn of Mrs. Hurley's passing. She
was such a lovely lady and I am very thankful that Laura and I were blessed by knowing her. She was so kind and outgoing and
loving. She was very good to Laura when Laura and Katy were in
elementary school and junior high and played volleyball and
basketball together. She was wonderful to help with getting the girls to practices and games. We so enjoyed spending time
with her!! She often welcomed Laura into her home.
I am thinking of you all and I will be praying for you.
God bless.
