We had a beautiful memorial service this past Saturday at Laura and Dennis' shop, Market Street Antiques, in downtown Apalachicola. The memorial was attended by neighbors, customers and vendors who worked in the shop, as well as family members all gave testament to what a gentle and loving soul Laura was and how she managed to operate the shop in a very professional yet caring way. They attested to the fact that Laura went above and beyond
what was required of a shop keeper and that they had never experienced that kind of caring concern from someone running a store. Examples ranged from her hanging pictures for someone who needed assistance doing that in their booth, or the fact that you could always count on being greeted by a beautiful and warm smile each time you came into the store. She told one of the vendors just last week that she was doing her "dream job" in operating this shop. We are grateful that she was able to enjoy this store so much and that she found such a supportive and appreciative community so quickly in Apalachicola. Thanks to all who attended the memorial it was heart warming for her family hear your comments.
