Laura's friend Ciana sent this, perhaps not intending for it to be read, but it is especially meaningful:

Joan's following comments: As this young woman expressed her gratitude for helping her to realize her beauty, I thought of the last journal entry I wrote that Laura ever heard, having read it to her the night before the tragic heart attack. In it, I said:
I feared I would not find love, the kind of love in which your beloved looks at you, and to them, you are beautiful.How grateful I had one last chance to tell Laura of my gratitude. That evening, we sat on the sofa, facing each other, and, once again, we looked into each other's eyes. Laura had a way of looking at you no one else I know has ever had. She looked into your eyes, and you felt she looked right through to your very soul. One last time, she re-assured me of my beauty and her love. This is the way I want to remember her beautiful face.
