    Hugs & tears for Walter, Tracey, Susan & Laura’s much- loved grandchildren. Laura & I met through the Women’s Club of Pittsford, several years ago. She was a long- time member & has many friends there. We did membership work together, with Laura greeting members at the meetings for check- in monthly, until covid19 stopped them. She & I could laugh together about women’s issues, grandkids, politics, &!the work world. Her sweet smile & kindness will be missed. The world has lost a fine woman.

    Dear Walter, my heart is hurting for you and all the family. It was my great honor to meet the girls and grandchildren a few years ago. Laura dearly loved all of you. I am so going to miss her. We both look forward to winter every year as we got to spend time together here in Florida reminiscing about family and old memories of growing up in New Brunswick. We had more than a few laughs about our growing up years. I have lost a much loved cousin.

    I am so saden by the loss of our dear Laura Deroin. She is my neighbor who I met many years ago when she had a gathering at her home for WCOP. I visited her this last month. She was so lovely and she gracefully got through this illness. She is now out of pain and with our Lord. It has been a pleasure knowing Laura.
