I remember Laura Jane very well. I’m the same age as she was. She has traveled a path that all of us will tread. That does not make it any easier to understand when it happens to someone you are close to goes that way.
Rest easy, Laura. It’s all over now. See you later, and we will recall “those good old days.”
