I have so many memories of my aunt/godmother, she was a very big part of my life. She was another mother to me and my sisters, without her I'm not sure where life would of taken us. You were just auntie to us and that is what my nephews call me and my kids call my sister. We will love and miss you but we will meet again. Can you please give my mom a hug and kiss from me.

Deepest sympathy and fervent prayers to the family of Laura Violette. Laura was my first 'supervisor' in the Processing Dept. at MPL. She was good & fair, had amazing energy, great stories and her laughter was heard throughout. Beautiful woman with an amazing spirit ... she was the best! Rest in peace Laura, we'll miss you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from your memories, as well as the comfort found in God’s word the bible. In the face of such tragedy, many wonder why God allows such suffering. In the bible, Romans 5:12 says, "That is why, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered into the world and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men because they had all sinned." How loving of God to promise what is found at Revelation 21:4 which says, “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
