Richard Kane lit a candle

“Remember this remarkable soul, from my days as a teamster, later with the Postal Service. Laura was pure magic, the personification of grace and kindness; lit up every room she entered, and I, Richard, am at a loss, deeply saddened, to learn her departure. "Laura, please, oh please, don't go, but tarry a spell, this aching world cannot afford to lose you!"”
