To the family with deep regret, I would like to honor this remarkable woman of God as the world's greatest Sunday school teacher for teens. I met her during my college years at Faith Tabernacle Deliverance Temple under the leadership of Bishop R. Brown. As a teenager, I was assigned to Sister Laura's Sunday School class. She was simply the most anointed, exciting, knowledgeable person and Bible teacher. She made Bible characters come to life and was able to grasp the minds of youth every Sunday morning. We knew her as Sister Laura. She kept a smile and was always serious about her God. Much love and prayers, Rochelle Fordham-Domingue
Laura was a person when you saw her, she was always happy. She enjoyed singing and loved the Lord. Laura was a worshipper, dancer and enjoyed praising the Lord. She will be greatly missed. I know she's still a worshipper, dancer and a praiser. She don't have to worry about getting tired where she's at. You've made it over.
We will not forget the lady on the front row who enjoyed hearing the word of God. She was friendly and she always smiled. Her beautiful smile and jovial personality will be missed. Cynthia, Eyvonne and Eyvette
May God bring you peace during this time. Trust that God is a healer of the heart in due season. Much love family. Cheryl and Vanessa Bonaparte

God thank you for loving us enough to give us many gifts; gifts like my Aunt Laura. She was a strong warrior until her last day. God continue to keep my Aunt Glinda in your care.
I pray your comfort during this time. I will remember Laura as the dynamic woman of God she was and how she would lift the roof in song. What a force for the Lord!
Thank you Aunt Laura (my second mother) for being a GREAT EXAMPLE AS A WOMAN OF GOD! I love you and I miss you today and always. I know you are shouting, you've taught me to shout, praise and dance. Thank you for all that you were to me in the flesh. I honor you in the spirit. God I ask you to continue to keep my mother, Barbara in this very difficult time.
