    I knew Mrs Laue as a Bus driver and would occasionally visit her after I graduated. She was gracious enough to take me to football games, which I truly enjoyed doing… somehow we lost touch. I will always remember the thoughtful things she did for me as a child. She will be missed. Prayers to the family
