My sincere condolences to the family of Laura, she was such a caring person to me, whenever I had a route issue or bus stop issue she took care of it without hesitation, Laura always seemed to like what she did at her job and for that I truly appreciated her.

May God’s peace and comfort rest upon the family during this difficult time. Laura leaves with her former co-workers and friends her legacy of love. She was a spirit of Godliness. She was a kind and loving woman. I worked with her through her 33 years of service with the former Nash County Public Schools which eventually became Nash-Rocky Public Schools. and now back to Nash County Public Schools. I never saw her when she wasn’t smiling and willing to assist you with anything. She will definitely be missed by all that knew her. I love you my dear friend. Jesus is rejoicing with the angels on your homecoming to Him and our Heavenly Father.
My condolences on Ms. Flye’s passing. She was a warrior and a beautiful person. She will be missed.
