I am so sorry to learn about the loss of Launa. It has been many many years since I last saw her. I met Launa and her sister Dawn New Years Eve, 1968. We became good friends after that. I have good memories with the Vock family. Launa was a beautiful person, inside and out. So tragic her loss at such a young age. My condolences to her family. God bless

Dear Tom and Family,
I was so shocked and saddened to hear about Launa. I remember her cool hair and slender smile when visiting grandmas' house and at the house in Northlake. I feel for your loss of a wife, mom, and grandma. Nothing is as sad. Time is the only healer.I am thinking of you all.
Love,
Cousin Laura Vock
