I won’t be able to make it for the service since I’ll be travelling there the following week. Thankful we will all see Laura again sometime in the future. Love to all the family.
I didnt hardly know you but remember what a sweet lady you were. My one and only experience pulling a calf was at your farm. You had us over for dinner one day and Jim and I helped one of your cows deliver her calf. It was an amazing experience for a city boy. You will be dearly missed. I can only imagine how many lives you touched over the years.
So sorry to hear of Laura’s passing. Condolences from the Flinn famiky, especially Jim and Jerry. May that sweet woman rest in peace.
Michelle, we’re thinking of you & the whole family. Our condolences to you!
