  1. Keith so sorry for your loss!! You mom was an amazing woman! I was lucky enough to work under her! She caught me dancing on shft and had both hands on hips big smile on her face. All she said was “go back to work” never brought it up again.

  2. Keith,
    I want you to know how sad I am, for the loss of our sweet, but ornery, Momma A., but even more for the emptiness and anguish you are feeling, day to day, with her passing. I’m here if you need anything and I’m praying that the Lord will comfort you moment by moment.

  3. My Momma A,
    Oh how I love you! You were my best friend for many years and my other Mom you’ll always be. I truly cherish that we were able to have daily conversations the week before you were called home. I have saved every voicemail you sent that week and we will never forget your voice. You were an amazing Balloon Grandma 🎈and our kids love you so much! Noella was blessed to have met you and your memory will be carried on in our home forever. One day we will all be together again.

  4. My heart & prayers go out for you & family! I loved AUNT Laurel so much! She was like a mother to me!,She will be missed! FLY HIGH, AUNT LAUREL! LOVE YOU, PATTI, BILL, JESSIE & CURT – Sapp

  5. Keith, our most sincere condolences to you and your family. Losing a mother is so hard, it leaves such an awful void. I pray for strength for you all, cherish all the beautiful memories and all the moments spent together. Sending love your way.

  6. Keith, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing our Mother is one of the hardest things in life. Treasure all of those memories you have of her. Laura was a very special lady in my and Tom’s lives. Always there to talk and laugh. We loved her dearly.
    Tom and Grace
