We are all deeply saddened to hear of the loss of our family member, who went by so many different names. For myself, my siblings and cousins, she was called "Aunt Laura". She was such an influential person in our lives growing up and a great support system for our family. Subconsciously, we idealized her, as many of us had great interest in the nursing or similar fields. Today, she will be missed. It will never be the same. Holidays will never be the same. She held no hatred in her heart and her family was her first love. I will truly miss you and I greatly appreciate you for being a part of my life. Rest in peace now and forever! Love Lauren, Corey, Charlton Nelson and family!
