Guest Book

In the Holy Bible, the book of Titus shares how the older woman should instruct the younger. While some us were not privileged to personally meet Mrs. Laura, her life and testimonies were shared and seen through her son, daughter in law and granddaughter. We are praying for you all with every thought. We are thankful for each of you and we love you. RCA M.O.M.S.

Les, there is no greater love than a Mother's love; and no greater hurt than losing that Mother. May you find comfort and strength in knowing that the Greater One is always by your side. May the Lord, Himself, overtake you and overwhelm you with His Peace and His Joy and His Comfort, as only He can. I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. Your Wake County co-worker, Lillian Rayner

Les, Kwanya, and Ariana - We were saddened to hear that Grandma Laura had left the company of her family; but are glad she is resting in the arms of the Lord. More than anything, we remember Grandma Laura's warm smile and how jovial and spirited she was whenever we would see her in Raleigh. We have no words for how you, Aunt Eyvette, and Cousin Greg feel; but do want you to know that we love you and are here for you today and in the days to come. We know the Lord will be your strength. - Mr. & Mrs. Eric Manley (Raleigh, NC)

I am sorry to hear of Laura's passing. To the family, you have my deepest sympathy. She trained me on the switchboard when I started work with Carolina Telephone. She became a good friend of mine and I will always remember her laughter. She was a jovial person.
