I am so sorry for your loss, Heaven sure looks sweeter every day. I remember Ms Laura when I was just a little girl in California. She was always a sweet lady and loving too I would walk across the almond orchard to come see her Gail and Mr Charles almost everyday I will never forget how good she was to me. I’m sure I will see her again in heaven.
