Laura was the best mother you could ever ask for, always putting her family first. She set a good example for her children setting her expectations high. She was a loving and giving person. Laura was a “ stay at home” Mom and every summer she would leave Detroit and take her children to Coldwater Lake. Her only brother Nick and family, had a cottage next door. The families spent every summer together making wonderful memories. Laura knew how to entertain and always loved to have her family and friends close by. Every holiday was a special celebration and she would decorate for the occasion. She had a passion for card games and always wanted to win. The grandchildren knew she was hard to beat, but the challenge was there. Gma will be missed.
