Laura's passing was so tragic and she had such a promising life ahead of her. She was so giving and kind and just an amazing person. I will always have the best of memories with her from our various adventures and especially PENTATH. She looked so forward to 1989 and then she passed away just after the year changed to 1989. I remember talking to her the day before her car accident. She was so full of life and excited about the future. I still visit her grave site and live longer and stronger in memory of her. The best way to pay tribute to friends that have passed is to enjoy life, take risks and love without reservation or conditions.
I was awful to Laura, in Junior High. She was always so "put together" smart and 'perfect', and I made fun of her mercilessly. I realized later that I envied her, because 'she was who she was', and she truly did not try to impress anyone. I was a very insecure person back then, and I felt threatened by her. She was comfortable with herself, at an age when most of us were merely trying to make appearances. She had such an unshakeable character.
I will NEVER forget Laura Jones. I was blessed to have gotten to know her very well, during our junior year of high school, and I learned what a beautiful person she was, both on the inside and outside. I am thankful that I had the chance then to apologize, and make amends for my deplorable behavior toward her in our earlier years, even though that did not excuse it. While she was very receptive and forgiving toward me, I felt shameful and sad when she died.
I can honestly say that I believe God used Laura Jones to teach me a very poignant life lesson. After her death, though I still made many mistakes, I strived to become a better person. Over the years, I have come to measure my words and actions by how I think a person receiving them will think and feel.
Laura Jones, may you Rest in Peace, and I hope that I get to one day have a quality reunion with you, in the hereafter. You were an amazing young woman who lived well, but quietly, and who never got a chance to show us all the potential you had inside of you.
Even still, you were an inspiration to me. -Krista (Golden) Register
Laura, you are missed still after all these years!
She was always one of the most polite and graceful people I know. She was always making you feel better about yourself as a person. She was a very creative person, from the funky eyeshadows she experimented with to her personality. And her smile...she had the best smile. I have continually thought of her these years and now I am glad that I am able to put into a few words what a gracious and beautiful person she was.
