Dave--My thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family during this difficult time.

To Laura's family and friends, I was sad to hear the news of Laura passing this life but share in the joy of her homecoming to see her God and loved ones who went before. Our mother and father and Ed and Laura were best of friends. They endured childhood in Austria before and during WWII and maintained that friendship after both families came to the United States. We cherish the wonderful memories of that friendship with them and their family. May God hold you all close as those precious memories help you heal. You all are in our thoughts and always in our prayers.

Dear Dave and family: I am so sorry for your loss. I enjoyed seeing and visiting with your mother at the family gatherings (picnics, birthday parties) you have had. I know she will be missed by all of you. Prayers and thoughts are with you.

From Dave's friends at Siemens: Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family as you deal with this great loss.

Dear Family of Laura, Our Mom cherished the 60+ year friendship that she had with your parents, spanning two countries and 2 American states. Us girls also cherished that friendship. Your Mom was a lovely lady who was very much valued and loved by us. I imagine that she and our Mom are having a great conversation in their native tongue right about now. May your cherished memories of times shared bring you all comfort and peace. With love and friendship.... Sandy Crabtree-Hefflefinger
