I know she would want you all to remain close knit and I hope you remember her with much joy.

Miko, Ricardo, David, Carol and your families.

Wayne and I (Buzahora) are sending you love and our prayers during this difficult time for you. We have fantastic memories of all of you and your Mom over the years. Your Mom was amazing, loving, caring, a good friend and completely devoted to her family. She could whip up a supper to feed a lot of people in a matter of minutes —a great cook!

We had fun times together and we had fun phone calls over the years. She will be missed.

I am so grateful for having known Laura and for having been a recipient of her most kind and generous friendship. I used to come away from her home, which was near mine, marvelling at her amazing capabilities: hairdressing, cooking, caring for many children and friends - multitasking extraordinaire - all accomplished in the context of her calm and loving nature. Rest in peace Lovely Lady!

My sympathy and love to all of the family,

Beth Kondratuk

I have many wonderful memories of the hours spent in Laura's kitchen; drinking endless cups of her ever ready perked coffee, sharing her homemade buns and bread (the best ever) and being the lucky recipient of her many hair dressing skills. She was a very generous, warm and lovely friend.

I am sending my love and sympathy to you Miko. Ricki, Carol, David and families

Sending my condolences to the family. I met Zia Laura before I married into the family. We met at a blackjack table. Her love for casinos was her enjoyment and getaway when she arrived in Thunder Bay. Zia Laura was always smiling and loved to chat and catch up. She will be missed by all family, friends and casino players. They respected her like no other. Rest In Peace Zia Laura ❤️

I woke to a bright sunny day in Florida that has been darkened by the news of dear sweet Laura’s passing ! I have so many wonderful memories of Laura and her family She was the most warm giving person I had ever met ! The days at the salon with her whole family with the music blaring and the parrot singing will stay with me forever! If one didn’t have enough money to pay no problem- next time!! So many fun times going to Laura’s to get my haircut after Rick left and oh the visits we’d have in her kitchen She had a warm laugh and gave me the best hugs ! My deepest condolences to all the family that treated me as one of theirs’ Thanks for the memories! Hope to meet up one day soon!

My deepest condolences on Laura’s passing.

She was always so kind, giving, smiling.

Laura did my Mom’s hair in her time of need at home no less

Nourished is as if we were her children WoW,

Laura is now smiling back to us in peace

My love to Ricardo and the entire family
