It was such a pleasure and joy to have met Laura when we were home in Placentia for a family reunion in 2015. Laura was a dear close friend to Vera & Austin Collins, my mother & Father. Her friendship over the years was such a blessings to our family. I remember the laughter that would take place around the table when Mrs Ryan would be visiting at the same time. They were such great friends. Our condolences to all the family on the loss of your mom. She truly was very special.
