I used to have a Laura as a friend but lost her when I had to have my game transferred to new laptop. I've seen the remarks as well, and wishing well to her.

Laura is one of my friends in the game. A few days ago (not certain how many), she added to her game name something like "hubby dying". Then a couple days after that she changed it to "hubby gone". I checked to see if anything had been posted, but couldn't find anything about it. According to my records, she is a member of this forum. That's all I know.

Oh wow.  I’m so sorry.  

Sorry to here this sad news. Sorry to butt in to. Only it is heart warming to see that friends are so concerned about friends in their games. That they post on here. It is a great vessel to share our sadness, support or those in need. Hopefully, when Laura feels the time is right she will find your posts and see your thoughts. 
I’ll add Laura and her hubby to my prayers as I’m sure others will on here.
