"Fly high"
"I grew up with Lauras daughter Jen. I spent countless days and nights at their house, on vacations and at soccer with Laura and her family. She was without a doubt the sweetest person I have ever met. She always had the right things to say when something wasn't quite going right at school or if we were having boy problems. She toted us around for soccer and school functions and always showed endless and unconditional love for Jen, Matt and Amy. She was the best mother to her children and an amazing person and friend. It's been a few years since I've seen her but I will never forget her beautiful smile and the loving person she was. May you fly high with the angels. Praying for the comfort and peace for her family during this confusing time. Rest in peace, Laura. You always have been and will forever be loved. "

"Laura, to me you were the little girl at recess in second grade that smiled at me and made me feel welcomed just after I moved to Springboro. We were friends all through our high school years and although we went our separate ways after graduation, I have always held a special place for you in my heart. I haven't see you for years but I miss you so much. This is your time to be at Peace."
"Laura was a Red Lion United Methodist Church friend. I met her and her beautiful daughters Jen, Amy and her sweet son Matthew in 2007. Her radiant smile and positive attitude always kept me smiling, too. You are going to be greatly missed. Rest in peace sweet Laura."
"I will never forget you my sweet friend. I promise to pray for your family, especially your children. You loved them so much and were happiest when swapping stories about our kids. God, take care of Laura on her "Journey," to Jesus."
"I was very sad to hear about Laura. I work at the high school and saw Laura on a daily basis. She was always so friendly and always had a smile on her face. The last time I talked to her - she had seen me wandering around the counter at lunch and asked if she could help me. I wanted a yogurt with blueberries and they were out. She said she would make me one on the spot and she did just that. That was the kind of person Laura was. My daughter also worked in the kitchen with her when she was a sub and she said she was always so happy when Laura was there because she knew she could ask her any question and she would be happy to help. I will keep your family in my thoughts and prayers and I will truly miss her when we return to school next month. "
"Laura was a precious lady who put family first. My heart goes out to Eric and their kids. Rest in peace sweet lady. "
"Laura was a precious lady, so kind and loving she always had a lovely smile and kind word whenever we saw her. Her family was her ray of sunshine. She is now safely in heaven after being an angel to so many here on earth. May the beautiful memories of her carry you all in days ahead. God bless Eric Jen Amy and Matthew. From the Loxley family"
