So very sorry to hear about Laura’s passing. We live in Holiday Park in Fla. Laura was such a big part of our musical life here. She played the piano for the park chorus and she was involved in our annual Variety Show. When she left the park, she left a void in our lives. We hope that her life after she left was good. We miss her. Holiday Park Residents
So sorry to hear of Laura’s passing. I worked with her many years ago when I was active in RH theater programs. She was always so sweet and pleasant and easy to work with. I’m sure she’ll be greatly missed by her family.
