Kelli Arnold Posted 9/30/2010 Saints of God, come to her aid! Come to meet her, angels of the Lord! Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High. May Christ, Who called you, take you to Himself; may angels lead you to Abraham's side. Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High. Give her eternal rest, O Lord, and may Your light shine upon her forever. Receive her soul and present her to God the Most High. Let us pray: We commend our sister Laura to you, Lord. Now that she has passed from this life, may she live on in Your presence. In Your mercy and love, forgive whatever sins she may have committed through human weakness. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Posted 10/1/2010 My heart goes out to the Ciolk family. I got the pleasure of meeting Laura when I helped coach Nathans tee ball team, and my daughter is in Hunters class. May gods hands give those boys the comfort they need in the days, weeks, months and years to come. And know the whole town of White Cloud is sending thoughts your way. Kerry Hewitt Posted 10/1/2010 Dear David, Hunter and Nathan, We were your neighbors on Colfax in Grand Rapids. My grandkids Ricky and Amara played with Hunter and Nathan. I really enjoyed Laura, and came to consider her a good friend. She was always kind and generous. I know she will be terribly missed. I was shocked to see the obituary in the paper, I am still stunned. Please know that our family is praying for you, and our thoughts are with you. She will be lovingly remembered always. Ricky says to please tell Hunter and Nathan hello from him, and that he is thinking of them, and feels so bad about what you all are going through. Sincerely, Vicki, Corrie, Ricky, and Amara ([email protected]) Posted 10/4/2010
