  13. Dear Family and Friends of Laura Thompson:

    Our deepest condolences at the loss of a member of our church family. Seems that only yesterday that she and her sister joined our church.

    We know you must be enormously grief stricken in the loss of a young loved one at a time when the world is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Our prayers go out to you.

    God bless us everyone.

  15. Laura’s mother, Vera, was my childhood friend. I remember the last time I saw them. It was at a department store. Laura was about 2 and she was in her mothers arms. That’s where I picture Laura now.
