Hundreds say goodbye to Laura Ewart
HUNDREDS gathered yesterday at the University Chapel, Mona, to celebrate the life of Laura Mae Ewart, middle child of Barclay Ewart and Glynne Manley, who died suddenly a week ago in the United Kingdom where she had recently migrated.
In a church beautifully transformed into a quasi-orchid colony and a programme that truly reflected the celebration of a much-loved and beautiful person, mourners took comfort in the words of Christopher Cross: “Think of Laura but laugh, don’t cry, I know she’d want it that way.”
There were smothered tears as Sheila Graham read the remembrance entitled ‘Loving Laura’, which remembered her as being “generous to a fault.”
“Laura had only to scent a need, a desire, in someone, and her greatest delight was in satisfying that need. For Laura, giving was living, and she asked for nothing in return,” said Graham.
