Remembrances

LAURI DE HAAN
(KEMMY DEAN)
March 5, 1964 - July 29, 1995
I laugh to hide the tears and joke to hide the pain.
I bite my lips and force a smile when someone speaks your name.
Dear God please take a message to my son above.
Tell him how much I miss him and and give him all my love.

Forever loving you,
Your mom, Connie
(A belated thank you to Dr. Alastair McLead. Quoting Lauro: "He was like a father to me."[2]
