I am heartsick over Laura's death. She was such a strong woman that I was sure she would pull through. I'm so glad that we went on that trip to Cape May together in December - we had such a good time. We have all lost a good friend & she will be missed. I am also sorry to report that I will not be able to attend the funeral. My uncle passed away & I have a wake in Brooklyn at the same time. Frankly, I'd rather be at Laura's service. My thoughts & prayers will be with you.
