When you look up the word faithful, you should find a picture of Lauralei Smith. She was faithful to her Lord, her family, and her friends. If something was going on at her church, you could be assured that Lauralei was somewhere in the background working. She was truly a kind person that cared! Her death has left a void beyond measure in her precious family and in her church family. The only thing that will keep us going through this is our Lord and knowing that one day soon we will see our sweet friend again.
