I am the former wife of Laura’s Dad Ken’s cousin David Tolstyga who passed away in 2009. I never met Laura but we did talk a few times on fb. She was a beautiful person inside & out and I am saddened to see her life was cut so short. We never found the time to meet in person. My deepest sympathies go out to Devon and her entire friends & family.
