My deepest condolences to the family, may you find comfort in prayer and the beautiful words of Isaiah 25:8 where God promises us that He will soon eliminate all death and suffering. Acts 24:15 speaks of a resurrection, a time when God will reunite us with our loved ones again! I hope this helps bring some comfort in this time of sorrow. https://tv.jw.org/#en/video/VODBible/pub-jwbcov_201405_5_VIDEO

Three times a year, I spent a girls' weekend away at the Norwich Spa, and seeing Laura was the highlight of the weekend. She was generous and genuine, and over the years, I got to hear many stories about her kids, of whom she was clearly proud. I'm so shocked and saddened by her passing, and I hope those who love her find some peace in the coming weeks and months. My heart goes out to you! Laura's smile and stories are missed already.

To the family and friends of Laura McKenna, I would like to express my deepest and heartfelt condolences. I am truly sorry for the lost that your family is feeling. Experiencing the lost of a beloved family member is one of the hardest experiences that any of us can go thru. And because of that my thoughts and prayers are with your family. During this extremely difficult time, please turn to God for comfort and support. He promise to give your family the strength needed in order to endure this great lost. (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) Something else that can bring your family comfort is cherishing the wonderful memories that you have of Mrs. Laura. These precious memories will console the family in the day's ahead.
