Sorry to hear the passing of Laurine, She was a great neighbor and she raised great kids. I remember how
hard she worked out at the ranch along side her husband.

Bob says
I was shocked and loss for words when I heard that Laurine had passed away. She was such a tough old bird and I guess that I thought she would live forever. Now she will live in our hearts and memories. To this day I have never known anyone who put more miles on a vehicle going to and from her many card games and activities. Don’t forget the car she won, she really loved that little car. What a wonderful mother, she raised four great children with big hearts, especially my friend Roscoe, who loved his mother deeply. She will be missed.
