Goodbye Laura

My sister-in-law, George's sister, Laura, passed away on Wednesday. She died, as she wished, at home, with her view of the maple tree and her cat at her side. She was 74 years old. Her funeral was yesterday and we had the hymns and minister that she had requested. We had pictures of her and her cats and trophies from her Bridge competitions. Christine spoke about her (and Michael's) fond memories of Auntie Laura. Her final concern had been for her cat and we have found a home for him with a gentleman, in the same apartment building, who was Laura's friend. One of her friends, when I called her to tell her the news, summed her up very well; "she was one of our nicest and quirkiest friends".
