I was so sad and surprised to hear of Laurale’s passing. I am a member of her Sweet Adeline chorus that rehearsed in Iowa City. Our chorus did not get any word of her passing and consequently members who knew her did not attend the visitation or service. The last time I saw Laurale was several years ago when I had stopped at Crestview to visit another chorus member and learned Laurale was there also. We had such a wonderful visit. I have fond memories of her and her wonderful lead voice during the time she sang with us. My prayers go out to your family as you mourn her loss.
Thank you Dianne for your kind and thoughtful message regarding mom’s passing! She would be pleased to know the Sweet Adelines are thinking of her even “after the fact”. She enjoyed the group so much and made many life long friends! Thank you for thinking of her! Melanie Christopher (her eldest daughter)
I was so sad to hear of Laurale's passing. We always had such big chats, usually politically motivated..... I will sure miss her pleasant personality. My symphathy to all family members.
