Laura had a massive stroke sometime in the early morning hours of Wednesday, November 09. She was rushed to the hospital as soon as her son found her, but she'd spent too long in a stroked state. She was put on life support while the extent of her injuries was being assessed. It was determined that the hemorrhaging in her brain was too extensive for surgery, and she wouldn't ever recover. She was removed from life support on Nov 11th at 1:30 pm and passed at 1:45, surrounded by her son and family. She was an organ donor, and her liver and kidneys will be going to save other people's lives.

Laura was a joy to all that knew her. She was kind, selfless, and giving. She loved helping people, which is why she went into the massage field. To love, serve, and heal people. She will be greatly missed.

She was recently evicted from her house and was living in a trailer with her son. There's no way she or her son will be able to even hope to cover the costs of a hospital stay or funeral/burial. As a self-employed massage therapist, she had loads of loyal clients but not a lot of income. I'm hoping those clients can step up and help her now.
