    I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. There are no words of comfort that can be offered that will make this loss any easier. She loved you all so very much and you are blessed. She will live on in spirit in the hearts of all those that she touched in her life. She is in God's arms now in a peaceful place. You are so right Dana, how lucky He is. She will now wrap her angel wings around you with God by her side and help you through the grief you feel. We all grieve with you for her loss. Peace be with you for she is now resting in peace.

    such a tragedy couldn't have happened to a more loving, close-knit family. words can't describe what a loss this is to everyone who knew her. but through all the pain you are all still surrounded by some of the most amazing people i have ever known. i hope you can take solace in the fact that laura knew exactly how much she was loved until the very end, and that you have each other to lean on to ease the hurt even a little. to laura-- for leading a wonderful life, and raising such an indescribably great family.

    love to you all, always

    Dear Kyle, Dana & Chad,
    We are so very sorry. Your Mom was one of those very special people that God has let us borrow. She did so much for so many and will always be loved and remembered.
    Though she may be gone in body, she will always, always, be with us - and especially with you. Remember, she walked "through" the valley of the "shadow" of death. Her love of God and His love of her will keep her forever alive and safe in His Home with her love and protection reaching out to you whenever you need it. Wrap God's love and your Mom's love around yourselves and each other and you will have her strength and understanding to share and keep you strong.
    Bless you and all the family.
    With love, David and Lynn

    Kyle, Chad and Dana...my heart is breaking,
    I am so sorry. I am glad she is a peace. I knew,
    after sending a message this morning on this
    blog and finding out how fast all of this was
    going..that when I got in my car and the 1st
    song that played was, "Would you know my name
    if I saw you in Heaven", it was a sign. Then I
    talked to Sandy. Please know how much all of your family means to us..I truely believe in
    guardian angels, your mom will always watch
    over each of you. All our Love,

    Dana,

    I am so very sorry for your loss. You have been an amazing young woman during this whole time. In the times we talked, your mom was so proud of you, you could see it in her eyes and the way she talked about you. I know she would have been even more proud of you and your strength these past few days.

    My heart aches for you and your family. Again, I am so very sorry for this incredible loss. You have been on my mind all week and in my prayers and will continue to be.

    Take care, sweetie!

    There will be a huge void with the loss of your Mother. Laura was a truly amazing person and you were so blessed to have her as your Mother. She was so proud of all of you and you were her world. Cherish the memories you have of her and it will help pull you through the tough times. I feel so lucky to have been able to call her my Friend. I will miss her very much.

    Love to you all.

    Dana, Kyle, Chad and the entire Parella Family. There are not enough words to express how sorry I am for your loss and this difficult time. Its obvious by all of the messages that she was not only an amazing woman, but loved by so many. Myself and Tyler included. I know she is now at peace, but its still so unfair to everyone, especially Laura. I am sure I speak for many in saying that I am so Thankful for her friendship and being a second Mother to my daughter. We will miss her! We love you all so very much. Our thoughts and hearts are with you. Always Chrissy and Tyler

    Roni Sue, Kyle, Dana and Chad my heart goes out to you at this time. For your loss there are no words, and time will only partly heal the pain. Your mom was an amazing woman who made such a impact on those she touched. She will be missed not only by you, her children, but the many other children she raised. God give comfort to you and your extended family at this time, while the heavens rejoice and receive their new angel on high. God Bless

    So many people have already expressed my thoughts. I will always love Laura, and am so blessed to have had the amazing opportunity of knowing her since grade school. You are all such a testament to the woman she was. It seems so wrong but find comfort in God for he does have a plan. Always call on your Angel and God in times of grief and despair. I will always be there for whatever you need. I love you all so very much.

    My heart aches for all of us who knew and loved Laura especially for Roni, Dana, Kyle, Chad. It was truely an honor knowing and loving her.

    My prayers are with you all.

  1. God saw you getting tired
    And a cure was not to be,
    So He put His arms around you
    And whispered, "Come with Me"
    With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
    And saw you fade away,
    Although we couldn't bear to lose you,
    We could not ask you to stay.
    A golden heart stopped beating,
    Hardworking hands laid to rest.
    God broke our hearts to prove to us,
    That he only takes the best.
