Dear Kris and family,

I have been out of town, so I just read your mother's obituary. Please know that my heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family. I only met your mother that one time when the Class of 1975 reunion was first held at her home, but she was a lovely lady! I know that she will be missed. I pray that God will continue to be with all of you during this time of grief. Love, Linda

I am so sad to hear of Laura's passing and my heart just aches for all of you. I have fond memories of how she and Tom opened their hearts and homes for many of us Palmetto Bible Camp friends and for the many St. Andrews Road Youth Rallies. She influenced my life with her love of photography and the example of hospitality she always provided. She was truly a woman of God whom I so greatly adored. May all of you find peace and comfort knowing she lived her whole life to one day reach heaven. Now she can walk those streets of gold with her beloved Tom and many of those who have gone before us. I know she will be so greatly missed. Those who love the Lord never see each other for the last time.

Your mom was such a great "mom" to me whenever Tom and I were on one of his projects. She can never be replaced. Love to all the family

My heart aches today as I just heard about Laura's passing. Immediately, fond memories of her filled my mind and love in my heart because that is how I will always remember Laura. I told my husband today it was 36 years ago that I met Laura, and there were so many fun times staying with her at the lake...Thoughts are endless...May you all have comfort in knowing that she is at peace, seeing Tom again and free of any pain she may have had recently. She will always hold a special place in my heart!

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. My husband, J. B. Killian, grew up in White Rock with the Bailey clan, and always had fond memories of your mother and father, as did I. May God give you the comfort that He promised you all.
