She has requested that her remains be interred next to her beloved Charlie at St. Peter’s columbarium. A reception will be held immediately after the service in the Parish hall of the church. Anyone who wishes may visit the columbarium during the reception. Laura’s family is asking that in lieu of flowers, donations be made in her honor to a local animal rescue or local food pantry.
