As needs arise, they will be posted as "activities" in the calendar. We welcome volunteers to help out by signing up for any open listed activities. Each items has a description of exactly what needs to be done.
This site also has an area where people can write about their memories of Laura. As Kaitlyn and Megan grow, the small bits we leave behind will be the only way they can get to know their wonderful, beautiful mom. There will be heartbreaks, school, college, marriage and babes of their own, but all they will have of their mom is what we leave behind. Please take the time now to share your experiences to enrich the girls' lives forever.
We would all like to see Kaitlyn and Megan's routine continue as much as is possible under the circumstances. If you or your children have been participating in a regularly scheduled event with the girls, please check to see if the event is shown correctly on the calendar. If not, please email one of the LHH administrators so that we can make appropriate arrangements.
