We are so sad to hear of Laura Mae's passing. She was such a precious and dear friend to the Boozer family being friends with Louise Boozer for many, many years until her recent death. When Mrs. Boozer would be at our house, I loved to hear her when she was talking to Laura Mae. I don't know what they were talking about, but I would hear Mrs. Boozer laugh like I had never heard her before, and it thrilled me so much that they had each other. Laura Mae was an amazing woman, and I used to love to hear her sing. Welcome home to Heaven Laura Mae! You were dearly loved here on this earth and will truly be missed. To all of the family please know you are in our thoughts, hearts and prayers. Gary and Sandra Boozer
