I remember Laura (mama) from when I was a young child. I am close friends with Amy and Jennifer and we danced together growing up. Mama was there at competitions and recitals cheering us on, helping us get changed and was a steadfast memory for me throughout this entire time. I will always remember her cheerful voice and she was always smiling. You remember inportant things as a child and I remember her always being so so kind to me. I am sorry for your enormous loss and I send my love and sympathies from Canada. Love Leanne Kenakin

I am married to one of Laura's nephews, Dale. I remember her as a very beautiful and elegant lady who always spoke highly of her children and grandchildren. You could tell that her family was her heart.
