"Lauby, was so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my Mom in January and know that a Mother is such a sweet love that is very, very difficult to let go of. People often told me I looked just like my Mom's younger photos. So do you. What a beautiful lady. God bless both of our Mothers as they fly in heaven in eternal life. ~RV & Shirley Templeton Vaughn"

"Wayne, Jenny, Bob and Judy, there are no words to express the sadness we feel for you all. Squeak was such a genuine and loving person who always put her family first. I remember the Sunday dinners that were "required" for the family to attend. I believe this truly was the highlight of her week, Sunday dinner for the ones she loved dearly. It was always ironic that Squeak was a Cubs fan and Wayne was such a Cardinals fan. We love you all and wish the best for you in this time of great sadness. "

"Dear Judy Peyton (daughter of Louis �??Squeak�?� Laubersheimer), I was shocked and very sad to hear about your mother. I lost my mother very suddenly two years ago, and it was difficult. I wish I could give you some advice on how to make things feel better, but I cannot offer you anything but my condolences. I really feel sorry for you and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the coming days. I hope you are able to find strength from your family and friends. Please take it easy for a while since grieving can be very tiring and difficult. I wish I could be in town for the memorial service, but now that I've moved I won't be able to attend. However, I will be thinking of you. Best regards, Steve Mesenbring"
