A dear friend. Spoke with her in October last year. Couldnt reach her by phone. I just got the courage to check on any obituaries for her. God bless her family who I heard of so many times but never met. I met Laurette in Boca Raton in 1999 and we remained friends even after she moved to IL then WI. God bless. May she rest in peace.

I tried to call my dear friend Laurette not knowing she had passed away, and I am so sorry and so very sad to read this about my good friend and former neighbor from Boca Raton.
She was a very loving and caring person and my world will be a sadder place without having her to talk to, as we did many times during a month.
My condolences to you, Henry and your family. I'll will always think of your Mom with a smile and will always miss her dearly.
She was my touchstone in so many ways and it's very hard to imagine this world without her as I miss her already with all my heart.
