We lost a very good friend when Laura Chegup passed away. Laura worked here at the program for over a year; we became friends, as well We learned that Laura as was always willing to go out of her way, at any time, if she could be of service to anyone. While she vorked at the program Laura never once refused to help any of her clients just because of the hour or day of the week. She worried more about the problems she saw others facing than she did about her own problems. Rarely do we have the opportunity to know, much less be friends with such an understanding, sweet, and warm person as Laura Chegup.
