The nursing community is heartbroken by the loss of one of our greats. Laura was a mentor and mother figure to so many in the nursing field. She worked tirelessly as an educator to ensure future generations of nursing were being given a solid foundation. With her sudden and unexpected passing, she leaves behind her four children to navigate this world without her. Her children were the light of her life. For anyone who is able, please help lighten the load of Cate, Audrey, Nathan and Jacob. No children should have to face this alone.
