Dear Laura,
Thank you for
performing our wedding ceremony!
Before and after
the wedding, you were like a friend to every one of our guests. And
during the ceremony, you suddenly made the section of the park sacred.
When our small wedding in the big park started, we felt that everything
got so quiet. Your clear voice echoed not only in the small gazebo
but also to the extended areas where people who had nothing to do
with our wedding stopped talking and listened to you as if they were
part of our wedding.
We had the most
special and amazing wedding, and it was beyond our imagination. Thank
you, Laura, for being our officiant and making our day so beautiful!
Sincerely,
Chie and Michael
Special thanks
for your terrific series of these past 4 weeks. With insights into
the lives of those of high regard in our Church's history, with a
view to spiritual disciplines and assistance with prayer, we received
an incredible gift through your teaching. Much appreciation comes
from those who enjoyed the time spent with you. I know that your thoughts
and instruction will be played out in the faith and prayer lives of
the folks at Shepherd for years into the future.

Dear Dr. Grimes,
Mr. Quinn and
I wish to say "Thank You" for the lovely service of Lisa
and Rich's wedding ceremony.
It meant so much
to them and to us. We had many relatives who came from "far and
wide" to wish them well, and to a man (and woman) it was a very
touching and caring few moments. Lisa was so fortunate to have found
you.
You made us feel
that "God's in His Heaven--all's right with the world" in
those precious moments when they took their vows.
Thank you,
Jeanne B. Quinn
Laura is free
from the too common and constraining idea that everyone must follow
the same path. I value most her compassion, brilliance and confidence
in discernment. I went through a major personal crisis and depression
and Laura was a life preserver. As I was ready to open myself up in
new ways to God, spirituality, my family, and relationships, she held
doors open for me so I could discover which practices would bring
me more life.

Dear Reverend
Laura,
You came and officiated
at our daughter, JoAnn’s wedding in our home last month. You
were kind, gracious, and a pleasure to work with. You stepped in with
very short notice, and turned what could have been a disaster into
the most beautiful, memorable event of our lives. We cannot say enough
for your joyous words and graceful demeanor. Thank you so much, Reverend
Laura.
Signed,
Frank and Sharon

We welcomed
Laura and her family to our community two years ago, and have been
graced by her leadership and preaching ability ever since. Laura
is a gifted homilist and a skillful observer of the "big picture"
situation in our community life. She completes her exegesis and
finds within the scripture of the day a "pearl of wisdom"
and then preaches it in such a way that her inspiration and insight
are accessible to all. Laura always finds a way to bring the scripture
message to bear on our vision for the future.

Rev. Laura,
I just wanted
to say THANK YOU for a most beautiful wedding. You made our day! Your
words were just beautiful and didn't leave a dry eye in the garden...especially
mine. My family commented how lovely you were and your delivery was
just perfect. It was truly wonderful.
Lots of love,
Brenda and Michael
Dear Laura,
Dani and I were
very pleased for your services in our wedding.
I think that
we couldn't find anybody better to perform this beautiful ceremony.
Thank you for all your kindness and the time that you dedicated
to us was appreciated. Also the Spanish part of the wedding was
so beautiful and meaningful too. We all loved it.
Sincerely,
Dani and Percy

present and we had a wonderful time!

Hi Laura,
