Laura Mae Sparrow October 16, 1976 - July 26, 2000 Our dear Laura was brought into this world by two wonderful parents who love her so much. She was so beautiful with silky blonde hair, and a big sparkling smile that would light up any room, and heart. She was so loving and kind, one of those people that you come across once in a blue moon. She loved to help people, and was loved so much by every person that she touched. Laura was one of the best friends I have ever had. She had this laugh that was so contagious. Whenever I was down, she would do something silly, and I couldn't help but laugh. She was so amazing, and smart, and sweet, and had such a huge impact on my life. She was like a sister to me. She taught me so many things about life that have helped to make me the person that I am today. Laura was so kind to everyone, she had a huge heart. It didn't matter who you were, she treated you the same as everyone else. She never changed who she was so people would like her. And she didn't have to, because everyone who knew her loved her. The thing I remember the most about her was her smile. She had this big smile that spread across her face. I used to wish that I had her smile. She was so dainty and fragile, too. I used to watch her sometimes and think,"God, she is so breathtaking." I loved her so much. Dear sweet Laura, she was so busy loving and caring for other people, that it exhausted her mentally and emotionally. She struggled for years with this exhaustion. She was a fighter. And she fought and fought her internal sadness, until she just couldn't fight anymore. Our beautiful Laura ended her pain and crossed over to let the Lord take care of her on July 26, 2000. We all miss you sweetie. We love you so much.
