We are very sad to hear of Laura’s passing. It was always fun when we could see Laurie and her family when we visited from Oregon. She is gone too soon, but will live forever in our hearts.
Mr and Mrs Reames – I had the pleasure of working with Laura at Walmart. I want to offer my sincere condolences for your loss. May you find peace and joy in the memories of your dear daughter.
I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Laura but I’ve had her as a cashier several times and she was without a doubt the absolute nicest cashier at Wal-Mart! Always smiling and exchanging friendly and kind words. I am saddened by this great loss to so many her kindness touched! I will never forget her smile! Prayers for her family!
My Heart is saddened by your loss.Laura was an Angel on earth and she had a truly natural ability to fill anyone’s heart with joy. She was in choir with me back in the 80’s and being around her made me a better person.

Laura was an amazing lady, always willing to help anyone that needed it. She was kind hearted and would always be everyone’s shoulder to lean on if they needed to talk. Also always taking in the animals that needed a place to call home. Cats were her favorite by far. You’ll be forever missed by so many but never forgotten. May you Rest In Peace Laura ❤️ My prayers go out to her family as we say our final goodbyes. From- Allexis & Carol
Jan and Gary, I am so sorry you have lost Laura. She was a ray of sunshine and I always chose her line at walmart. I had no idea she was your daughter. We would have had so many things to talk about. Her absence at walmart will be felt by all the hearts she touched. R.I.P!
Miss seeing you as well Jan.
Love Shannon Ruedger and Marysue Pollitt

I feel the same way as everyone else, Laura’s smile could lighten up even the darkness of rooms. My heart and prayers go out to you during this trying time. If you need anything just name it I’ll be there. Laura will be missed my everyone she ever came in contact with. Heaven’s got a new angel and we will meet again some day

I’m sorry for the lost of Laura we went to school together
I work at the Dollar Tree in Three Rivers. Laura was certainly one of my favorite customers. She was always a ray of sunshine and put a big smile on my face anytime she came in. She will be greatly missed by all of us that work there.
I enjoyed seeing her smiling face when I saw her at Walmart. She was a very sweet lady and I will sorely miss her. I graduated with her and she stayed the same loving lady. My sincerest sympathy to mr. and mrs. Reames. I will be looking forward to seeing her again when we all get to heaven
Mr. and Mrs Reames,
I am deeply saddend by the news of Lauras’ passing.
We were in school together, and choir is where we both seemed to find joy and happiness, in singing. This is where I will remember Laura the most. It is a collection of funny, not so funny, stupid, laughable, memories of daily choir classes along with all the silly, and wonderful things young girls did in high school…?
When I moved back home for good, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Laura still had her beautiful smile, and she welcomed me back with a big hug like it was 1985.
I will miss your daughter, and hope you find some happiness in knowing that Laura was loved by many, by me.
Rest in Peace my friend. I will save up my hugs for you, when we meet again.
Lorrie Brundige, class of 1985
Laura was a sweet soul. Lifting her family up in prayer during this unimaginable time of grief.?
Sorry for your loss. Heaven received an Angel with her passing. I graduated a year before her, but she was always a cheerful face I would see in the halls. And from time to time when I would shop in Three Rivers at Walmart. I would seek out her lane just to see her smile. Prayers for all who knew her.
To Lauras family i can say she always made going in walmart a pleasure. She alway had a smile and i alway talked to her when i had a chance too . I feel lucky to have known her and called her a friend. My heart hurts to know im going to walmart and i will never see her smiling face again .. my prayers and hugs go out to you ..
So sorry to hear of Laura’s passing. She was such a sweet person . To this day she would always ask about our daughter , as they were classmates. I am also offering condolences on behalf of Holly as she is unable to do so due to
her illness. May You feel God’s arms around you.

Dear Laura’s Family,
I went to school and graduated with Laura, In school i was thankful for Laura, for i was extremely shy and she was always nice to me. Made my school days easier. I still live here in Three Rivers and shop at Walmart. I really enjoyed seeing Laura at Walmart and i would always make a point to check out on the line where she was working so that we could have a quick chat. One day she gave me her phone number so we could hang out after work some time. We never did get that chance to hang out, it would of been a good opportunity for me to tell her how much of an impact she made on my life during school. Laura’s personality was kind, full sun shine and will be greatly missed. Prayers for you in this difficult time.
Dear Friends.
Laura was indeed an. Angel among us. Her smile and her kindness will live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She was exactly what the world. Needs now, more than ever.
