Laura was an avid animal lover. There was not an animal alive that she didn't love. Her furever child "Jax" was a Mini Aussie whom she leaves behind. When Laura was younger she had such an enormous imagination. She use to have, as she put it "a tend" (pretend) deer who would always give her wedgies. She would be standing up and swiftly turn her head and ask whomever was around family or not if they just saw what happened. Whomever would reply, "no what was it"? and she would say, "my tend deer just gave me another wedgie". Her older sisters loved playing pranks on her. They had mixed up some kind of concoction called "Spirit Juice" and after she drank the "Spirit Juice" she would rare and act like the horse from the movie, Spirit.
