She Held Us Together

Laura Louise Foster Powell

1923-2007

Mother of 3, Grandmother of 5, Great-grandmother of 8 and Great-great grandmother of 2.

But she was more than just the sum of her descendants. Tiny as a bird with a spine of steel, Laura raised three daughters working long hours in the aeronautics industry to support them.

She loved fine food, beautiful jewelry, a glass of red wine, and, most of all, her grandchildren.

We’ll miss her.

I never met her, but, as mentioned before, she was outwardly beautiful, and, from your description and what else I’ve heard of her from you, inwardly lovely as well. My thoughts are with you and the family.
