Jerry, first I am so very sorry for your loss of your dear Laura! My prayers go out to you and your family and friends who are grieving her great loss!
Laura and I were 2 of the 3 women in Accounting who earned our degrees from the University of Arkansas in 1964. She went to work for Shell in Tulsa from college. When I was hired for my first job in Tulsa that summer, I moved in with her. We were roomies from then until Danny and I got married in March 1968! She was my Maid of Honor at our wedding! She was the best roommate anyone could have had! Needless to say, we made many happy memories together!
Several years ago we met again at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport for a brief visit before I took my plane back to Houston. I think you were on the golf course that day. Sadly, that's the last time we saw each other. Hopefully, some day I will find pictures from our visit!
I wish I could be there with you during this time, but I will be with you in spirit!
Continuing Prayers for Y'all!
With Love!
Mary (Zimpel) Smith
