Laura Hilfer of Ontario, Canada, was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of thirteen. After intensive treatments, she was declared cancer free, but her and her family’s happiness was short lived as the disease returned again four years later.
Heartrendingly, this young and beautiful soul lost her battle to cancer on January 20, 2016.
Her family shared the devastating news on the social media through the Facebook page dedicated to Laura’s progress and struggles while she was still alive.
“She fought bravely and all of you would have been so proud of her. Her poise, her courage, her strength and her pure spirit shone through right until the end,” her family wrote.
The Nelson High School student was loved by many. She touched the lives of everyone she had encountered, and it was now her friends’ turn to show her just how much she meant to them.
They covered her casket with notes, expressing their gratitude, their love, as well as their sorrow that came with her passing.
Their wish was that Laura receive a love-filled farewell worth of a beloved friend and student.
Not only her classmates and teachers, but her family, neighbors, and even the hospital staff all penned tributes to her on her casket.
When they saw their daughter’s casket, Laura’s family were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support.
One of the messages read, “You were musical. You were artistic. You were understanding. You were my bestest friend.” Another read: “Very brave and strong. You will always be a hero.”
Laura’s favorite color, purple, was on display at the church and on people’s clothes.
Sadly, Laura left this world, but the outpouring of love from her local community was heartwarming to see.
May she rest in peace.
Fans ‘seriously concerned’ after Rachael Ray appears to slur words in new video
Rachael Ray’s latest appearance is sparking concern for the renowned chef and television personality.
Fans immediately took to the comment section of Ray’s newest video promoting her show, Rachael Ray in Tuscany, expressing their worry about the current state of her health.
“She does not look like herself at all. I hope shes ok.”
On Monday, the 56-year-old shared a clip of herself making the late singer Tony Bennett‘s favorite dish, ossobuco, while telling the story of how she “almost killed him.”
In the clip, Ray shared that when Bennett went to sit down in his chair it “slid out from under him and he hit his head on my marble counter behind him.” His wife assured Ray the crooner would “pop back up,” which thankfully he did.
While the Food Network star recalled her story about Bennett, the majority of people in the comments were focused on Ray’s appearance.
Some even questioned if she was drunk or suffering from a medical episode.

Even though many were quick to diagnose Ray, there were still plenty who came to her defense.
“I don’t hear any slurring but she has compassion in her telling of the story. She’s a good person and her vibes are good.”
“She got emotional talking about her friend is all.”
“For heavens sake! She’s fine! Not 22 and cutesy any more, but shes fine. Missing her friend.”
Although Ray’s speech was slow and deliberate throughout the clip, the television personality has yet to address any of her fans’ concerns.
Whatever the case may be, I do hope Rachael is okay. Please share.
