Laura was a registered nurse, an office manager and a loving mother, wife, sister and daughter. She believed in the power of prayer, and she prayed faithfully for her family and friends. She delighted in her family and was blessed to be surrounded by her brothers and sisters all of her life.
She was a faithful travel companion to her husband and together they saw the world. She was a dedicated cheerleader for her children and she made every day they were together so special. She loved watching her grandchildren grow up and planned the best vacations for them, full of swimming, tennis, and museums. To all of her nieces and nephews, she was Tia Wauwe, prayer warrior. To her friends, she was La Honey. Every day, she was grateful for the kindness of strangers and she was quick to hug and quick to praise. She was known for her long good-byes full of hugs, tears, anointings, prayers and smiles.
The family wishes to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses and therapists who cared for Laura during her long illness. A special thanks to Dr. Ricardo Garcia and Dr. Samuel Ramirez.
