Laura Jean wears the crown of the Proverbs 31 woman. Proverbs 31:25-28;30 (NLT): “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness. She carefully watches everything in her household and suffers nothing from laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her. Charm is deceptive and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. Reward her for all that her hands have done, and let her deeds publicly declare her praise.

Cavin-Cook Funeral Home, Mooresville, is serving the family.
