Thank you for your interest in The Joel-Jeremy Memorial Fund. The following information is provided to acquaint you with this fund and how to submit a request.
At left is Laura 'Shonnie' Hogue.
Laura ' Shonnie' Hogue was a strong-willed, beautiful person that the Joel Jeremy Memorial Fund was helping early in 2006 because she couldn't work. Laura had breast cancer which went away for awhile, but, sadly returned. It also began to spread. On Saturday at our dance in February 2006, she spoke to our gathering at the White Lake Inn. She couragesly expressed how thankful she was to the Joel Jeremy Fund for helping keeping her household together, she didn't have to worry about shelter and food for her 2 kids and herself during a very trying time in her life. Through out all the treatments, the chemo, the radiation, Laura remained positive, up beat and strong. We're very sad to report that Laura's battle with cancer ended with her passing early in August 2006. She was a single mom with a lot of friends and a lot of class.
WE'RE ALL GOING TO MISS HER.
