With great sadness and appreciation Lauretta also leaves behind her companion and devoted loving fiancé, Kaiser Lee Pontoon, who stayed by her bedside around the clock. Lauretta was well known & loved by many. Although her life may have seemed too short to many, those whose lives were touched by her know that the quality of existence far exceeds the quality of time in which you live it!

Lauretta answered the call and never looked back as she was elevated from this transitional place to her Eternal Home...PEACE
